Author's Notes: Sorry for the really long wait for this chapter. I had
really bad writer's block so I asked a friend for some ideas and this is
what came from them. This is from an idea my friend orionx103/Youkai Sesshy
came up with. I couldn't think of what to write so he helped me. Thanx
dude! Couldn't have done it without you! And thanks to the reviewers! I
wouldn't want to continue without you! Oh, and scratch the 'one or two
chapters left' thing. Since I have new ideas this should get better. And
about the fight scene in the last chapter, it was originally longer when I
first wrote it so when my sister comes back to visit she'll bring my
notebook and I'll rewrite the fight. She'll be back, for the weekend, on
the 21st. ^_^!
Disclaimer: I do not own Mortal Kombat or any of the characters mentioned this story except for Deep Blue. They belong to Midway and/or anyone else that owns them. Deep Blue belongs to me and Dark-elf16 and Jesse is my dad.

"The Lone Warrior"
By: Green Devil
Ch.6: "A New Threat"
A few days went by and Sub-Zero was somewhat healed and everyone was celebrating. They were all so happy that he was going to be ok and that they didn't need to worry anymore. Or so they thought.
Once Sub-Zero was fully healed the three of them were going to go back to the forest and rebuild their house so as not to burden Jesse with having to take care of them. It was also decided that Deep Blue was going to go live with them since he had no other place to go and besides, he was a fellow ninja of their former clan. The day went by uneventful but that night would change everyone's lives forever.
Everyone was sleeping except for one. He had a nightmare so decided to go outside and get some fresh air. He leaned against the cold cement wall and slid to the floor. 'That was some weird dream. But there's no way it could come true. Could it?' the ninja thought and stared up at the starry night sky, thinking. But unknown to him, he was being watched by two figures in the forest.
"Is that the one?" one figure asked the other with a robotic sounding voice. "Yes. Let's get him." The other replied in the same sounding voice. The two figures jumped out of the forest and ran up to the ninja who immediately sprang to his feet.
"Who are you? What do you want here?" the ninja questioned getting into a fighting stance.
"Come with us Smoke. Your clan is waiting." One of the figures ordered. From what Smoke could see, he looked like a robot ninja with red armor.
"We won't have to hurt you if you just corporate." The other added. He looked just like the other but had yellow armor.
"You're from the Lin Kuei, aren't you?" Smoke questioned. He tried to get away but realized he couldn't go anywhere since the two robots and the wall surrounded him.
"Yes we are. Now come with us." The red one held out his robotic hand.
"Never. I will not go back to the Lin Kuei and become like you two. You'd have to kill me first." Smoke answered and went to kick the hand away but it grabbed his ankle and he soon found himself being held upside down.
"That can be arranged." The yellow 'bot said and was about to continue but Smoke had kicked him, with his free leg, in the head and he stumbled back.
"Cyrax! You little pest!" The red 'bot yelled and through Smoke into a nearby building. Smoke crashed into the wall and nearly busted through it but the wall was really thick. The 'bot ran over and was about to deliver a final blow but was stopped.
"No Sector! We have to bring him back alive!" the yellow 'bot, Cyrax, yelled and ran over.
"I guess you're right. Fine, let's go." Sector stated and hung Smoke's body over his shoulder. Smoke then blacked out. The two robots were about to leave but they heard a voice.
"Smoke! Put him down!" The voice yelled.
"Scanning... Traitor Lin Kuei ninja... Name... Sub-Zero... Youngest... We only came for this one. We will be leaving now." Sector stated and the two started walking away.
"Where do you think you're going? Leave Smoke alone!" Zero yelled and charged at Sector. He was about to kick the red 'bot but instead was roundhouse kicked in the face. Zero fell to the ground in pain and held his head. "Give Smoke back!" he then yelled and ran at Cyrax. He was about to punch him but the yellow bot caught his fist and kicked him in the chest. He was sent flying into the same wall Smoke ran into and the wall crumbled on top of Zero, burying him.
"Your traitor friend will become one of us then we will come back for you and your brother." Sector said in a cold robotic voice and they started walking away again. "And if you see a Lin Kuei named Deep Blue, tell him Cyrax and Sector are looking for him." Cyrax yelled to Zero and the two robots took off. Zero remembered the words and tried to get up but he was in too much pain and blacked out.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Zero awoke in his bed with a big headache. 'How did I get back here?' he thought.
"Well it looks like you're o.k. Jesse! Zero's awake!" Deep Blue yelled into the store. Jesse walked into the room a few seconds later and up to Zero.
"Do you feel alright Zero?" Jesse asked.
"A little except that my head's pounding." Zero said wincing.
"Here take these." Jesse said holding out his palm. In it were two red and yellow pills. "They will ease your head pain."
"Thanks." Zero replied and took the pills from Jesse's hand. "Could I have a glass of water?" he asked.
"Oh yes of course. I'll be right back." Jesse said and left the room. Blue and Zero just stayed silent until Jesse came back with the water. "Here you go. I need to get back to the register so I'll be back to check on you every few hours so just get some rest." Jesse said and walked out of the room. Zero pulled down his mask, popped in the pills, and drank the water with them.
"You sure you're ok?" Blue asked.
"I'm fine." Zero replied.
"What happened last night?"
"Nothing."
"Yeah right. Then what happened to Smoke?" Zero didn't answer. "Fine, don't tell me, but your brother's gonna wanna know too." With that Deep Blue left the room.
'I know Sub-Zero's gonna wanna know but... I'll tell him later.' Zero thought and drifted into a deep sleep.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Well what did he say?" Sub-Zero asked. He was healing really well but still needed to stay in bed.
"He wouldn't answer me." Deep Blue replied and walked over to Sub-Zero's side. "Now what?"
"All we can do is wait until he decides to tell us. I just hope that the wait isn't to long." Sub-Zero said. Deep Blue nodded agreeing.
"Maybe he'll tell you?" Blue suggested.
"Maybe, but as you can see I'm not really able to get out of this bed on my own." Sub-Zero said.
"I guess you're right. Well then I'll tell him to come talk to you when he wakes up."
"O.k."
"Well you should get some rest too. Your wounds still need time to heal."
"I guess you're right."
"I'll wake you when Zero gets up." Blue said and walked out of the room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The next day Zero walked into Sub-Zero's room and sat on a chair next to the bed.
"Are you ok Zero?" Sub-Zero asked.
"I'm fine." Zero replied.
"Zero, what happened to Smoke?" Sub-Zero asked. "Please tell me."
"Okay, I'll tell you. T-two robots took him. I tried to save him but they were too strong. I couldn't save him."
"Do you know what their names were?"
"The last thing I heard them say was, 'If you see a Lin Kuei named Deep Blue, tell him that Cyrax and Sector are looking for him.' There was one red robot and one yellow. They were from the Lin Kuei, I know they were."
"So the Grandmaster was finally able to make his robotic assassins. This could be a problem. Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine..."
"It wasn't you fault you know. They were too strong for you to fight on your own."
"I know. I just... Never mind. Can I go now?"
"Yes you may. And thanks for telling me what happened." Zero opened and walked out the door.
"Well?" Blue asked. "It seems that Smoke has been taken by the Lin Kuei. Grandmaster has succeeded in making his robots. There are two of them that we know about, Cyrax and Sector. I think that they are going to turn Smoke into one of them. This not good." Sub-Zero replied staring at the ceiling.
"No it's not. Even if we leave right now, we wouldn't catch them. They're robots. They're probably back at the base already. What are we going to do?"
"I don't know Blue. He's Zero's best friend. It would break his heart to find out that his best friend has become a soulless robotic assassin. I don't know what to do." Sub-Zero was really worried.
"I don't know what to do either but you need to rest. Stop worrying. Everything will work out in the end." Blue comforted.
"I guess you're right. I should stop worrying. I'll try to get some rest. That's about all I can do now." Sub-Zero said and closed his eyes. Blue walked out of the room and quietly closed the door.
