Author's Notes: Alrighy then, here's the next chapter. Smoke (the
reviewer), I took your advice about the missions thing and Smoke's amour is
silver now instead of purple/silver. It does look better. Thanks for the
reviews and advice everyone! They are very much appreciated! And now I have
to go back to school tomorrow because Spring Break is now over T_T. Well on
to the story! ^_^!
Disclaimer: I do not own Mortal Kombat or any of the characters mentioned in this story except for Deep Blue. They all belong to Midway and/or anyone else that owns them while Deep Blue belongs to me and dark-elf16. Oh and the characters in this part that you don't know are my family not my own characters because I'm too lazy to think off more characters. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"The Lone Warrior"
By: Green Devil
Ch.7: "Job One"
Sub-Zero was talking to wealthy man who was offering a big sum of money if the ice ninja could pull off a job for him. He was in trouble with some gangs and needed some protection for a while, until he could get out of town.
"Why don't you just hire some body guards? Why do you need me?" Sub-Zero asked.
"Because you're a ninja and you know how to handle these situations. Please will you help me?" the man answered.
"How much?"
"'How much' what?"
"How much am I going to get for this job?"
"I'm offering $15,000 for five days."
"So that's $3,000 a day. Hmm... Make it $30,000 and you got a deal."
"$30,000?! But, $6,000 a day? But if nothing happens in a day you'll get $6,000 bucks for nothing!" The man said shocked.
"Do you want my skills or not? Your choice." Sub-Zero asked in a bored tone of voice.
"Fine, fine you got deal." The man agreed. He and Sub-Zero shook hands. "You can start tomorrow. I'll be safe for the rest of the night without your help. Come back here around 8 tomorrow morning."
"Fine. And I get paid at the end of everyday right?" Sub-Zero asked.
"Yes, yes and you better come." The man answered.
"Don't worry, I will." Sub-Zero said and walked out of the man's office. He was escorted out of the house and was greeted by his brother, Blue, and Smoke.
"So what happened? What was the job? Did you accept it?" Zero asked eagerly.
"The job is to protect this guy and yes I accepted it." Sub-Zero answered.
"How much is he paying?" Smoke asked.
"$6,000 bucks a day which means $1,500 for each of us. I--We start tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. got that?"
"Got it." Blue said and turned around. "Lets head home then." So they did.
The next morning at 8 a.m. all four of them were at the man's house. Sub- Zero knocked on the door and the other three hid somewhere close to the house to be lookouts. The door was answered by one of the man's servant lady's.
"How may I help you?" the servant lady asked and looked at the ice ninja cautiously.
"I was hired to protect a man named Adam Rivera. He is here right?" Sub- Zero said.
"Oh, yes he's here. Right this way." The girl answered and let Sub-Zero into the house. He followed the girl into the same office he was in last night and said, "Mr. Rivera will be with you shortly." She bowed and left the room.
Sub-Zero looked around the room and saw a desk, a chair, some scattered papers, and a trophy case. He walked over to it and looked at the many different trophies for the many different sports.
"I see you like my trophies." Adam said from behind. Sub-Zero turned around to face him. He was tall and skinny with brown eyes and short brown spiky hair.
"You have a lot of them." Was Sub-Zero's only reply.
"Yes. I use to love sports and was very good at them, but then I started drinking and gambling. I got into trouble with gangs because I wouldn't pay them for protection money. I was-am wealthy but I didn't want protection, until now. The gangs have been threatening me so I turned to you. A friend of mine told me about you and how good you were and so here we are now. Well enough about me, what about you. How did you start doing what you do?"
"Hmm. Well, I am good at these kinds of things because I am an assassin. I go around to places getting jobs where ever I can because I need the money."
"How did you become an assassin?"
"I can't tell you that information."
"Fine. Anyway, someone's coming over today to do business and he may not like that business so hideout somewhere and if he try's anything get him away from me. Got it?"
"Yeah I got it."
"Go ahead and do whatever you want for now. Remember, my house is your house for the next five days."
"Yeah, I know." Sub-Zero replied and walked out of the room. He just wandered around the house trying to get a feel for it. He now knew where everything was and a servant showed him where he would be staying. He opened a window in his room and called out, "Guys! Guys! Where are you?"
At hearing his name, a silver robotic head popped out of the leaves from a nearby tree. "I'm right here and the others are hiding somewhere else around the house. What's up?" Smoke asked.
"I was just checking to see where you all were. Listen, someone's coming to do some business with Rivera so keep a lookout for him." Sub-Zero said.
Smoke made a mock salute and replied, "Yes sir!" then disappeared back into the trees. Sub-Zero, meanwhile, laid down on his bed and stared up at the sealing, thinking.
About an hour later Smoke appeared on his window seal. "Sub-Zero, I think that guy that you were talking about is here. He's at the door right now so I suggest you get to Rivera now." He said and then went back into hiding.
Sub-Zero ran through the house and into Adam's office. He quickly hid in a dark corner and out of site. The door to the office opened and a man about Sub-Zero's height walked in. He was younger than Adam and looked almost like him.
"Alex, how nice to see you again!" Adam exclaimed. Alex walked in front of the desk.
"Where's the stuff?" Alex asked.
"I'll get it for you. Just have a seat and I'll be right back." Adam said and left the room while Sub-Zero kept a close eye on Alex. Him and Adam looked kind of like brothers.
"Okay here are your things Alex. Take care lil' bro." Adam said and handed Alex some stuff.
"Thanks Adam, you're the best." Alex replied and walked out the door.
"Is he the one you were going to meet with today?" Sub-Zero asked and came out of hiding. Adam jumped at the sound of Sub-Zero's voice.
"Sub-Zero, I didn't know you were in here! Man you scared me! No, that was just my little brother. He needed some things for a trip he's taking so, being the brother I am, I lent him some of my things." Adam said.
"Oh, I see. Well when is the man you are suppose to meet with gonna come?"
"I'd say in a few minutes. You should stay here." About 10 minutes later there was a knock on the door of Adam's office.
"Come in!" Adam yelled. The door opened and in walked a big, very muscled, man.
"Mr. Becerra, please sit down and we'll get down to business." Adam said.'Mr. Becerra' sat down in the chair in front of Adam's desk and the two got down to business. Sub-Zero couldn't really tell what they were talking about so he just sat there and watched what was going on.
After about an hour of discussion, Mr. Becerra or Victor, as Sub-Zero now knew was his name, had slammed his fists down onto Adam's desk.
"What do you mean?!" Victor exclaimed and grabbed Adam by his shirt collar.
"I will not go through with this!" Adam yelled and tried to pry Victor's hands from his shirt.
"You better change your mind!" Victor yelled and pulled back his right hand. Sub-Zero immediately sprang from his hiding place and stopped Victor's attack by sweeping his legs out from under him. Victor fell onto his back and dropped Adam.
"Oh so know you have a little protector huh? Well he won't stop me!" Victor said and ran at Sub-Zero. He tried to punch him but the ninja dodged and kicked Victor in his stomach making him fall to his knees and groan in pain.
"You little punk! You'll pay for that!" Victor yelled at Sub-Zero. The ninja sidestepped Victor and hit a spot on his neck and knocked him unconscious.
"Thanks a lot." Adam said.
Sub-Zero shrugged, "It's what I'm paid to do." He said and started dragging Victor out of the room. He threw him out the door and called out to the others. The three came and Blue took Victor to the outside of the house's gates and left him there.
"Wow, already. And it's only your first day on the job." Zero stated. "I'm impressed."
"You expected anything less from the great Sub-Zero?"
"Yeah, yeah whatever. Go back inside. This is our turf." Zero said to his big brother. The three others laughed at the comment and Sub-Zero went back inside.
The last four days went pretty much the same and the four even went to the airport to see Adam off. When they got back to Adam's house to get some things that Adam had given Sub-Zero for doing a good job they found the inside in ruins.
"I guess he got out just in time." Smoke said looking around at the mess.
"I guess so. That was cutting it close." Zero replied.
"Well see if the things I got are still here and we'll be off. I got another job offer this morning so I have to go see what it is." Sub-Zero found that the things were still there and the four left to their next job offer.

A/N: Well another chapter down and I have no idea how many more to go! I'm running out of names and people to use here so if you want to be one of the people that Sub-Zero and the gang work for tell me in a review or send me an e-mail and I'll put you in. If you want you can even tell me what mission you want the guys to do for you and I'll put it in. Gots-to-go! See ya! ^_^!
