Author's Notes: Next chappie is now here! This one is for Smoke/Tim since
he suggested it and I couldn't think of anything else to write. (That or
I'm just too lazy to think of something myself.) It was mostly his idea; I
just put words and fight scenes in it. Hope you like! Here goes nothing!
^_^!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters mentioned in this story except Deep Blue. They all belong to Midway while Deep Blue belongs to me and dark-elf16. The rest of the characters are Tim's own creations.

"The Lone Warrior"
By: Green Devil
Ch.8: "Job Two"
"Is this the place?" Smoke asked.
"Yeah, this is it. Well, lets see if he's here." Sub-Zero said and knocked on the door. A moment later the door opened and a man stood in the doorway.
"Who are you four and what do you want?" the man asked.
"We received a call from a Mr. Janakor for some assistance on something. Is he here?" the light blue ninja asked.
"I am he. You must be Sub-Zero. Please come in." Mr. Janakor said and allowed the four to come inside. "So what are your names?" he asked the other three after they all came inside.
"You can call me Zero." A ninja with a scar on his right eye said.
"I'm Deep Blue." The ninja with a dark blue headband said.
"And I'm Smoke." The cyber ninja said.
"A robot? How cool!" Janakor said and shook all of their hands.
"I wasn't always a robot. I use to be human too." Smoke replied.
"Oh, sorry."
"It's no big deal."
"Anyway, let's get down to business. What do you want to hire us for?" Sub- Zero asked.
"Well, what I really need for you to do is help me get revenge." Janakor said and held out a picture of someone. "This man is Mr. Chanra. He's the head boss of a big gang of ninjas like you but different. He murdered my family in cold blood. I want him dead! Do this for me and I'll pay you anything!"
"Hmm. What do you say you guys? Should we take the job?" Sub-Zero asked the others.
"I say we take the job. This man murdered his family. That's reason enough for me." Blue said and the others agreed.
"Alright, we'll do it." Sub-Zero answered.
"Thank a lot. How does 1 hundred thousand sound?"
"Fine by me. Deal?" Sub-Zero stuck out his right hand.
"Deal!" Janakor shook Sub-Zero's hand and sealed the deal. 'I promise you Chanra, revenge!' he thought and smiled.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The next day Janakor told the guys where Chanra's main base of operations was and gave them the picture of the boss.
"We'll be back as soon as he's dead." Zero assured him.
"Would you like any souvenirs?" Smoke asked and Zero punched him in his arm. "Ow!"
"Ignore him. Don't worry, we'll take care of Chanra and be back soon." With that the four took off towards Chanra's base.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
They found the place and jumped onto the roof. There were some guards patrolling on the floor of the place but the four made sure to keep out of sight and went in through an open window and hid in the rafters to see what was going on.
"Look. That's the guy." Blue whispered and pointed to a man siting in what looked like a throne. He was flanked on all sides by guards and there was more siting around the place doing nothing.
"So what are we going to do?" Smoke asked.
"We have to get him alone. We can't take out all these soldiers at once. We need a distraction." Sub-Zero said and looked at Zero.
"Aww come on bro! Why do I have to be the distraction!?" Zero whispered as loud as he could without getting caught.
"Because you know exactly what to do."
"So does Smoke."
"But you can do better. This is an order. Now go!"
"Aww man." Zero got up and jumped out the window. Moments later there was a loud commotion outside.
"Sir, there is a stranger sneaking about using the element of ice to freeze your men from head to toe!" A ninja wearing green and black reported to Chanra.
"Then take more men and stop him!" Chanra yelled and slammed his fists onto his armrests.
"Yes sir! The green ninja saluted. "All of you, come with me!" he yelled and some of the guards took off with him.
"Okay, there's only a few of them left. Let's get it over with and get out as fast as we can. Go!" Sub-Zero ordered.
Smoke and Blue jumped down and landed on two of the guards and fought the others while Sub-Zero landed in front of Chanra.
"Hello." Sub-Zero punched Chanra and seemingly knocked him out. While this was going on, a soldier got away and came back with reinforcements. The green ninja from before knocked Sub-Zero to the floor and was gonna do more but he was tackled from the side.
Deep Blue had taken him down and they were now wrestling around on the ground.
"Smoke! Finish Chanra and I'll cover you!" Sub-Zero yelled and fought the other attacking people.
"Okay!" Smoke answered and ran over to the unconscious Chanra but as he approached an invisible force threw him back.
"What the?!" At that time others came in to protect Chanra. Two of them were holding Zeros' limp body.
"Zero!" Sub-Zero called out and tried to push through his enforcers but it was of no use, he was thrown to the floor.
Blue was still fighting with the green ninja and if you didn't know better you'd say they were twins. They looked exactly alike, aside from colors, right down to what they were wearing. And Smoke was doing his best to get through the soldiers to Chanra.
All of a sudden there was a huge shock wave that was sent throughout the whole place and it began to crumble, dust and debris was everywhere. The roof caved in where Zero was being held and buried him and his captors.
"No!" Smoke yelled and ran over to dig him out. Blue's leg was pinned under a fallen rafter and the green ninja he was fighting was buried like Zero but his black and green clad hand could still be seen. Chanra's workers had hi-tailed it out of there but Sub-Zero was nowhere to be found. When Smoke had dug out Zero he moved on to help Blue get the rafter off his leg.
"Where's Sub-Zero?" Blue grunted.
"I don't know. I lost track of him when he got knocked down by Chanra's men." Smoke answered. He helped Blue to his feet and took him outside with the now awake Zero.
"What happened?" Zero scanned the faces present. "Where's my brother?"
"We don't know." Smoke said and looked to the ground.
"Sub-Zero!" Blue yelled and pointed to Smoke's right. Sure enough there was Sub-Zero but he was being held in the air by his throat thanks to Chanra. Sub-Zero choked out one word, 'Run', then was thrown to the floor.
"Zero, you can walk right?" Smoke asked.
"Yeah."
"Then take Blue and get out of here!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, now go!"
"Okay. Take care of Sub-Zero and beat the hell out of Chanra!"
"I will." Zero helped Blue up and they left the new battlefield. Smoke helped Sub-Zero to his feet and stood in front of him, moonlight shining off his silver armor.
"Who do you ninjas work for?" Chanra asked.
"We have orders to kill you Chanra, and we will succeed." Smoke stated coldly.
"Really? Well my real name isn't Chanra; it's Shang Tsung. I am an outworld sorcerer. I'd like to see you try and defeat me." Chanra, now Shang Tsung, said.
"Sorcerer or no sorcerer, we will defeat you." Sub-Zero said and got in a fighting stance, Smoke mirroring his action.
"Then lets do this." Shang Tsung also got ready to fight, and so it began.
Smoke started it off by shooting his harpoon at Shang Tsung but he dodged it. Sub-Zero followed up by freezing the ground and making Shang slip while Smoke shot out a bomb. It landed right next to Shang and exploded.
Shang was sent flying and landed a few feet away. He quickly got to his feet and shot a fireball at Smoke. He ducked then jump kicked the sorcerer but he blocked it. Smoke disappeared and did his teleport punch hitting Shang right on his jaw, but Smoke wasn't done yet, he thew his harpoon and it got Shang's arm. He reeled him in, punched him in his chest three times, threw his harpoon again, got his other arm, punched his face twice, kicked him in his chest, then kicked his jaw, effectively sending him flying backwards where Sub-Zero was waiting.
The ice ninja uppercutted Shang and froze him just as he hit he ground. Sub- Zero raised his foot above the sorcerer's head and was about to bring it down but the ice encasing Shang suddenly exploded sending ice particles everywhere, many scratching Sub-Zero. Shang grabbed the ninja's leg and hurled him right into Smoke.
Smoke caught Sub-Zero and set him down. "Are you alright?" he asked.
Sub-Zero nodded and looked at Shang. He quietly said, "Finish him." Smoke obeyed and did his teleport punch and threw his harpoon catching Shang on the side of his stomach. Smoke punched his face two times, kicked his chest, kicked his chin, and punched his chest.
Shang was really hurting. Blood was all over his face and he was breathing rapidly. 'I don't get it! How could this robot and ninja be able to do this much damage to me!? That robot's attacks could have easily broken a mortals jaw but luckily I'm no mortal. I am a great sorcerer! I won't be taken down this easily!' Shang got to his feet and punched the cyber ninja's robotic face five times, kicked his chest, kicked his face, then punched his chest.
Smoke staggered backward holding his head. There was now oil mixing with the blood on the grassy ground and the sparks flying from Smoke's silver armor weren't very welcomed. Some sparks touched the bloody oil and it ignited. Flames jumped up and black smoke started to rise up. Smoke and Shang jumped away from the fire and stood waiting for the other to make the next move.
"Sub-Zero!" Smoke called. "That green ninja is still in the building. I'm gonna go for him before the building catches on fire."
"Alright! I'll take care of Shang then!" Sub-Zero called back and charged at Shang Tsung. Smoke ran into the building and over to the pile of rubble the green ninja was buried under. He quickly dug him out and ran out of the building just as the door to the place collapsed. Smoke laid the green ninja on the ground, away from the flames, and looked over to where Sub- Zero and Shang were fighting. They were really going at it!
Sub-Zero was punching and kicking the hell out of Shang until he finally fell to the floor all bloody, bruised, and barley breathing. The ninja kicked Shang's side and sent him flying into a tree. Smoke ran over to the beaten sorcerer and held him above the ground by his throat.
"Now you die!" Smoke whispered in Shang's face. The cyborg's grip tightened around the man's throat preparing to crush it. Shang was losing air and everything was starting to turn black. He looked into the robotic eyes staring back at him.
'I will not die like this!' Shang yelled in his mind. He started kicking and trying to pry the hands from his neck, but to no avail. He kicked Smoke hard in his stomach and the cyber ninja staggered back but still held the sorcerer.
At this time, Sub-Zero decided to help out more by sending an ice blast at Shang Tsung but before it hit, Smoke dropped Shang so that his arm wouldn't get frozen while holding onto him. The ice blast hit its mark and froze the sorcerer's entire body.
Sub-Zero walked over to Smoke and the frozen body next to him. "You wanna do it?" he asked.
"How about at the same time?" Smoke suggested.
"Fine by me." Smoke and Sub-Zero both raised their right foot above Shang and brought it down with as much force as they could muster. Sub-Zero's foot slammed into the sorcerer's head and Smoke's foot slammed into his chest, right through his heart.
"He's dead finally. So what do we do about him?" Smoke gestured to the still unconscious green ninja.
"Leave him here I guess. I think I hear sirens so lets get out of here and meet up with the others." Sub-Zero said. Smoke nodded and the two disappeared out of sight.
Police cars, an ambulance, and fire trucks drove up to the building and found Shang Tsung's frozen and mutilated corpse by a tree and the green ninja was fine except for some cuts and a few minor broken bones. The firemen put out the fire and the ambulance took the two fighters to the nearest hospital.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Did you get him?" Zero asked his brother and Smoke as they walked through the door to Janakor's house.
"Yes, he is now long dead." Sub-Zero answered.
"Really?! Thank you all very much for your help in this. Here is your payment, enjoy." Janakor handed the ninjas their hundred thousand bucks and thanked them once again. "You don't know how much Chanra dying means to me. I am forever in your debt."
"Don't worry about it. It's all in a days work." Zero said and helped Smoke carry Blue out the door. They had just found out that his leg was broken so he had to stay off it for a while. They all said their good-byes and the four ninjas left to who knows where next.
