I like Depeche Mode! I will add that to my list.

Enjoy the chapter!

The next morning, everyone prepares for the invasion.

Scorpion leaves to meet with Shao Kahn and Sindel.

He entered the throne room and all of the generals were already there waiting. He walked around the other generals and purposely stood next to Baraka.

Baraka picked up his scent, his nostrils flaring. He slightly growled, but he kept his gaze on Shao Kahn.

Shao Kahn briefed everyone on the last details of their mission to invade Earthrealm.

Scorpion didn't really pay much attention to Shao Kahn.

He slightly leaned towards him and threatened in a hushed tone, "You will pay for what you did to her!"

Baraka turned his head and glared at him.

He quickly glanced at the emperor before responding, "I'm not the one you should be concerned about."

Scorpion narrowed his eyes, but he remained silent when he noticed Shao Kahn's gaze in their direction. But he continued to talk and turned his head away from them.

Then Baraka spoke again in a hushed tone, "Reptile is the one you should be concerned about."

Scorpion scoffed, "Why? You're the one who attacked Mileena."

Baraka glanced at the emperor before retorting in a hushed tone, "He fucking touched her!"

Scorpion retorted in a hushed tone, "As if you didn't do that twice!"

Baraka slightly growled and said in a hushed tone, "Mileena said it herself!"

The bastard emperor turned his head in their direction and Scorpion waited for him to look away.

He threatened, "I will kill you!"

Baraka growled at him, "You can try, but you won't succeed, wraith!"

The general standing next to Baraka on the other side shushed him.

Mileena looked at herself in the mirror. She saw a slight bulge on her abdomen. No one else will notice, of course, but just in case, she shuffled through her various outfits in the closet. She put on a less revealing leotard with a belt and her knee-high boots. She examined herself in the mirror again. She adjusted her belt.

Perfect!

She opened her door to leave the room and stopped when Reptile stood in her way.

She sighed, "What now?"

"Shang Tsung requests your presence at the Flesh Pits!"

She lifted a brow. "But I'm supposed to go meet with my father."

"It won't take long."

She noticed he slightly shifted his gaze as if to see if anyone was approaching. She eyed him suspiciously and decided to confront him. "I know that was you by my door last night!"

He scoffed, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

She furrowed her brows at him. "Don't play dumb! I know you were here, you pervert!"

"So what if I was."

She gawked at him. "You're fucking sick! Go jerk off somewhere else!"

He impatiently grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room.

Mileena yanked her arm out of his grip. "Fuck you! I can lead myself."

She walked to the Flesh Pits with Reptile following close behind. She could almost feel his gaze on her back.

Fucking creep!

She entered the Flesh Pits and approached Shang Tsung. He stood by the examination area next to the metal table with straps.

The sorcerer looked at Reptile and asked, "Were you followed?"

"No." He replied.

"Good," The sorcerer smirked and commanded, "Restrain her!"

What?

Reptile grabbed Mileena from behind, and she struggled against his hold.

"Let me go!" She yelled.

He easily placed her onto the cold, metal table and strapped her down. She struggled against her restraints.

She stopped when Shang Tsung came closer. "What's going on? What do you want with me?"

"I know why you have a spell on you." He said as he hovered his glowing hand over her abdomen.

Mileena remained silent and nervously watched his glowing hand.

"You're carrying Scorpion's child."

She turned her gaze to Reptile and glared at him. "You told him!"

"Of course, he did." Shang Tsung said casually. "I told him to keep a close eye on you, even after Scorpion returned from his mission. And I must say, I was surprised to hear that Scorpion is the one you secretly consorted with, and not Baraka."

Mileena couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Of course you did!"

"Your father and I were sure of it, but I admit we were wrong. It all makes sense now!"

She huffed, "So now you're going to tell my father everything!"

"No. He will never know about this!"

Mileena gave him a confused look.

The sorcerer turned his gaze ahead and beckoned, "You can come out now."

Mileena turned her head to look, and her eyes widen in shock.

A clone of Mileena approached and stood by Shang Tsung.

"She will be your replacement as the emperor's true daughter."

"My replacement!" She snapped.

"Yes. You are no longer useful." He turned to the clone. "You may go to your room and wait for Scorpion to come escort you, princess Mileena."

The clone nodded her head and left the Flesh Pits.

"Scorpion will know she's not me!"

Shang Tsung chuckled, "Scorpion wouldn't know the difference. I already informed her about your secret affair with him. She will be an excellent replacement for you."

She desperately wanted to break out of the restraints and attack him. She watched him walk over to another table with various medical instruments. She felt her heart beating faster out of fear of what he'll do next.

"What are you going to do?" She tried to stay calm.

He eyed the medical instruments and turned his gaze to her. "You will remain here for now. The invasion of Earthrealm will begin soon!"

The sorcerer turned away from the table.

He said to Reptile, "Keep an eye on her until I get back from the meeting."

He left the Flesh Pits.

Reptile approached Mileena. He smirked and stood mere inches from her. "I always thought you smelled nice!"

She shifted awkwardly and turned away from him. "You're such a creep!"

"It's a compliment."

"I don't care what it is." She snapped. "It's creepy when it's coming from you!"

He emitted a dark chuckle.

Mileena narrowed her eyes at him. "Stay away from me!"

She flinched when he suddenly caressed her hair. She shook her head away from him.

"Don't fucking touch me!" She shouted.

He hit her hard across the face, knocking her unconscious.

"Sweet dreams, princess!" He said, caressing her hair.

Scorpion returned to Mileena's room and found her standing by her dresser. She had the teddy bear in her hands, examining it as if she was looking at it for the first time.

"Your father is ready to meet with you now!"

She put the teddy bear down on the dresser and turned to look at him. She grinned under her veil and walked towards him, swaying her hips.

She caressed the side of his head. "You're so handsome!"

She leaned into him, sniffing. "And you smell so good!"

He grabbed her by her shoulders and held her back. "We don't have time for this! Your father is waiting for you."

She giggled girlishly. "Of course, let's go!"

He led her out of the room, but when they reached the stairs, she latched onto his arm.

He quickly yanked his arm out of her hold and glanced around to make sure no one saw them.

He asked her in a hushed tone. "What are you doing? Do you want to get caught?"

She giggled, "Sorry, darling! I forgot!"

He gave her a questioning look but decided he'll question her later. He led her to the throne room.

The meeting commenced as usual.

However, Scorpion noticed Shang Tsung giving him a smug look. He slightly narrowed his eyes at him.

Why is he giving that look?

He also noticed Mileena fidgeting impatiently like a child and occasionally turning her head in his direction and gazing at him desirably. She wasn't acting like herself, and he didn't know why.

"Mileena!" Shao Kahn got her attention. "You will lead the first wave of the attack! Raiden and his pathetic Earthrealm allies won't stand a chance!"

"Yes, father!" She said and bowed her head.

"Let the invasion begin!" Shao Kahn announced.

The meeting ended with everyone in the room cheering.

Scorpion led Mileena out of the throne room and brought her back to her room.

"Are you feeling okay?" He asked.

Mileena chuckled, "Of course, I'm okay, my love!" She caressed his mask.

"You're not yourself right now."

She removed her hand, and nervously shifted. "I'm fine! I'm just nervous about the invasion."

He came closer to her and held her close. "Don't worry about that! I will protect you and our son!"

She cracked a smile and embraced him. "I know you will!"

He teleported her to the outskirts of the wasteland, where various Outworld warriors stood by and await the Earthrealm invasion.

Shang Tsung opened the portal to Earthrealm.

Scorpion watched Mileena stand and face the Outworld army. She seemed overly confident and smiled. It was almost as if she was putting on a show.

What is wrong with her?

He watched her turn and walked towards the portal. The Outworld army ensemble and follow her lead.

They walk through the portal and onto an empty street between the tall buildings.

Raiden appears with the Earthrealm forces behind him.

"Attack!" Mileena suddenly cried out.

The Outworld army attacks. The Earthrealm forces clash with the Outworld army, and a battle ensues.

A bullet whizzes by Scorpion's head, and he immediately grabbed Mileena and teleported her to a bridge far away.

Mileena looked at him with wide eyes as if she were amazed.

"Wow! That was wonderful."

He held her shoulders. "Stay here! You'll be safe for now. I'll come back for you later."

"Will the fight come to me?"

"Let's hope not!"

He teleported back into the battle.

Mileena's clone stood there waiting and watching the battle ahead. Some of the Oni were pushing forces toward her, and she was getting giddy.

She continued to watch the battle get closer and closer.

Sudden, sharp pain in her head caused her to collapse nearly.

Mileena came to and found herself standing by a bridge of some sort. She looked around and saw what appeared to be a battlefield. She recognized the Oni attacking the people and loud crackling sounds as they tried to take it down.

"Where am I?" She asked herself, glancing around, confused, and a little frightened. Her last memory was being in the Flesh Pits.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" She heard a man's voice say. She turned and saw a man dressed in an armored suit and a hat, approaching fast and dangerously. She backed away and turned to run but tripped over something stupid and fell.

What the fuck?

She noticed she was wearing different heels.

He rushed over to her side.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he crouched down beside her.

She looked up at him nervously. "Where am I? What is this place?"

"You're in New York City!"

What?

Mileena shook her head in confusion. "Is this Earthrealm?"

He looked at her questionably and responded, "Yes, this is Earth!"

She placed a hand on her head, feeling disoriented.

"Are you okay?" He asked again.

She looked up at him again. "Yeah, I'm just a little confused."

He helped her stand to her feet. "You shouldn't be here. It's not safe."

"I don't know how I got here. I was in the Flesh Pits, and then I ended up here somehow."

"Yeah," he replied calmly, thinking she's lost her mind, "Let's get you somewhere safe!"

She noticed another man with him, but she didn't pay too much attention to him. He led her inside a building and took her to a lounge area.

"You'll be safe here for now! We'll come back and check on you later." He said and turned to the other guy. "Let's go!"

Mileena noticed the other guy's gaze in her direction, and he smirked at her. "I like your outfit!"

She glanced down and noticed her outfit was more revealing than the one she had put on before.

She glanced back at him and shifted awkwardly. "Um, thanks!"

He gave her a wink and left.

She wandered around, looking for a mirror. She finds one when she enters a small room. It was a large mirror like the one in her room.

She gasped when she realized she was wearing the same outfit as her clone. She placed a hand on her now flat abdomen.

"Oh, no!"

She panicked and ran out of the building. She saw the two men in the middle of fighting Kintaro. The sound of lightning caught her attention, and she turned to find Raiden hovering in the air. She waved her arms, trying to get his attention.

"Hey! Raiden!" She ran towards him. He turned his head and looked at her.

She immediately stopped when he appeared to be charging a lightning strike aimed at her. He shot his lightning, and she was tackled to the ground before it could strike her.

She turned to find the guy with the hat, giving her a stern look. "I thought I told you to stay put! It's not safe out here!"

Raiden hovered onto the ground and approached them.

"She is one of them!" He shouted at him.

"What?" The guy looked at her suspiciously. "Who are you?"

She hesitantly responded, "I am Mileena."

She turned to Raiden. "Please! I need your help!"

Raiden eyed her suspiciously. "Why should I help you? You're the one who led Shao Kahn's army into Earthrealm."

Mileena shook her head. "That wasn't me! I was still in Outworld when that happened!"

"Outworld?" She heard the guy say next to her.

"Please, I need to find Kitana." She said, approaching Raiden.

Sharp pain in her head caused her to collapse, and when she came to, she was suddenly back at the Flesh Pits. She looked around and found herself alone.

What the fuck is going on?

She struggled against her restraints to break free but to no avail. She kept trying, not wanting to give up.

"Your awake!" She heard Reptile's voice, but she couldn't see him.

She sighed, "I thought you were part of the invasion."

"Shang Tsung hasn't come back yet."

"Oh, you must miss him!" She mocked. "That's too bad!"

He was silent, so she continued, "Maybe when he gets back, you can take turns playing with each other's dicks and sucking each other off!"

She heard him hiss by her ear. "You should shut the fuck up!"

"Why don't you make me?" She challenged him. "You fucking coward!"

He uncloaked and was standing close to her. He caressed her cheek and chuckled, "You're so cute when you're angry."

Shit! It's not working!

She hoped he would get angry and knock her out again. She scrambled through her thoughts trying to think of a way to piss him off.

He continued caressing her cheek.

An idea popped in her head, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to go through with it.

She gave him an alluring gaze and asked seductively, "Do you want me?"

He stopped and gazed at her, intrigued.

"Yes." He admitted.

"I'll let you kiss me."

He tilted his head and removed her veil. "I want to taste you!"

She felt her stomach suddenly twisting in knots but she maintained her composure. She did her best not to flinch as he moved in and kissed her, his tongue slithering against her tongue. He had a strange taste, almost like a spice. His tongue slid further, entering her throat. She whimpered and tried to pull her head away, but he held her chin in place.

Then she clenched down on his tongue, but it slipped through her teeth.

Fuck!

He pulled away and licked her lips. "You have a sweet taste!"

She cringed, "You taste like shit!"

He let out a sinister laugh and hissed, "You asked for this!"

"Fuck you! I never wanted this!"

"Then why entice me?"

"I was trying to bite your tongue off! You dickless fuck!"

He gripped her neck, slightly cutting off her airway.

Yes! Hit me, motherfucker!

He didn't.

Instead, he leaned in, sniffing her neck, and hissed in her ear, "I've always enjoyed the sounds you make when you fucked him!"

"You sick fuck!"

"I craved for you! To feel you!" He moved closer and whispered, "To fuck you!"

She tried not to shutter as a chill ran down her spine.

She suddenly felt his wet tongue licking her neck and slithering up the side of her face, causing her to squirm.

"Ugh! Stop it!" She yelled.

He pulled his head away and loosened his grip.

"I'd like to taste a little more of you!" He caressed her body until he reached her groin. He roughly clutched her womanhood, and she gasped.

He hissed in her ear. "After Shang Tsung is done with you, I will fuck you!"

She gave him a death glare.

He backed away from her, grinning deviously and licking his lips.

The sharp pain in her head came back.

Oh, fuck!

She lost consciousness.

Scorpion returned to the bridge, but Mileena was nowhere in sight. He approached Kintaro, who was slowly getting up from the ground.

"Where's Mileena?"

"I saw Raiden and an Earthrealmer take her away!"

Scorpion clenched his fists. "Where did they take her?"

"I'm not sure. But I heard the Earthrealm warriors were gathering at some kind of cathedral."

"Cathedral?"

"The Lin Kuei know where they are."

Scorpion left the bridge.

She better not be harmed!

If anyone is curious, Mileena is wearing her classic outfit while her clone is wearing the MK9 outfit.
