Ch.11: "Job Three"pt.3
Sub-Zero continued to fall down the building being pulled by the red 'bot. He had reached out to grab Zero's hand but their fingers only grazzed eachothers then were out of reach. He fell.
Sector's hands had frozen around Sub-Zero's leg and were stuck like that. They would have to be broken to let go.
'I can't die like this!' Sub-Zero's mind screamed. His hands again reached out for something to grab and the edge of a windowsill was felt under his fingers. He let out a relieved sigh but was soon reminded that he still wasn't out of danger thanks to a certain frozen 'bot hanging onto his leg.
"I'm gonna have to break your hands off so that you can let go of me! I hope it won't hurt . . . much!" Sub-Zero yelled at the load on his leg. "You're way to heavy Sector."
"Try it and see what happens! I'll get you fo-" Sector's head froze over completely, cutting him off. Sub-Zero slammed his leg against the bank and broke one of Sector's hands then did it again to get rid of the other hand still holding on. It also broke allowing Sector to decend to the road below. He hit the ground . . . and shattered. It was a good thing that there were no people around.
Sub-Zero looked down sadly at the remains of the Lin Kuei assassin. 'Sorry Sector but you brought this on yourself. Too bad you couldn't be like Smoke is.'
"Sub-Zero! Are you alright down there?!" Frost yelled out.
"Yes, I'm fine! Just help me up!" Smoke shot his harpoon down to Sub-Zero. He grabbed it and held onto it tightly. "Pull me up!" he yelled and the harpoon went up. Once Sub-Zero was safely on the roof Zero gave him a brotherly hug.
"Don't you ever do that again! You scared me half to death!" Zero exclaimed.
"Sorry but you should blame Sector not me. It was his fault I went over." Sub-Zero replied.
"Uh, I'd hate to interrupt this little brother bonding moment but we better leave before the police get here. I think that hole Sector made set off a silent alarm." Smoke said.
"Alright then, lets head back to the hotel. Tomorrow we'll check out then go see the Mayor about our pay." Sub-Zero said and they headed back to the hotel for some much-needed rest.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
In the morning they checked out of the hotel, paid for their stay, both rooms and all, and then paid a visit to the Mayor.
"Why, hello there. You must be the female that was helping out my town before. It's nice to finally meet you, um . . ."
"Frost." The female said as she shook hands with the Mayor.
"Ah! Frost you say? Well it's been a pleasure having you help out." The Mayor looked to the three male ninjas. "I trust that you got rid of those robots that have been terrorizing my town?"
"Yes, we have and we've come to collect our pay." Sub-Zero said.
"Oh yeah, your payment. Um, how much did I owe you again?" the Mayor asked.
"$70 thousand." Zero answered.
"$70? Okay then, let me just call my aid and I'll write you a check. Is that alright?" the Mayor asked.
"Yes, we'll cash it later." Sub-Zero answered.
"Okay then." The Mayor rummaged through his desk looking for his checkbook but sighed when he found nothing. He then pressed the intercom . . .button . . .thingie next to him and spoke into it. "Jami, could you bring me my mayor's checkbook please? I seemed to have misplaced it."
"Yeah, hold on." A female voice answered back through the intercom. A few seconds later a girl about the age of 18 walked through the door holding a little black checkbook with the word 'Mayor' on it.
"Here you go dad. You left it on the front desk." The girl said handing it to the Mayor.
"Thank you sweetie." The Mayor replied.
"You're welcome." She then turned to look at the four ninjas. "You four must be the ones who saved the town. Hi, my name is Jami Lyn but call me Jami. This old man behind me is my dad. Thanks a lot for helping out our town, we all really appreciate it. What are your names?" Jami said while shaking hands with Sub-Zero.
"I'm Sub-Zero, this is my little brother Zero, that's Smoke, and this is our new team member Frost." Sub-Zero said pointing to each one as he spoke.
"Oh, cool. Nice to meet you all but I have to go now. Bye!" she waved at them and ran to the door. "Bye dad!" she waved to him and ran out.
"She's your daughter? You sure she's not adopted because she looks way young you're all ol-" Zero was smacked upside the head by Sub-Zero before he could finish his sentence. "OW!" he exclaimed rubbing the back of his head.
"Yes, she is. I'm not that old you know I just look it. Anyway, here is your check for 70 thousand dollars. It can be cashed when and where ever you want. In this country anyway. Use it wisely."
"Don't worry we will." Sub-Zero assured. "Come on, let's go. Will you be joining us Frost?"
"Um . . .Yeah. I'm coming." Frost said. They left with their check and exited the building.
"So, you gonna stay with us Frost? We've never had a girl hang out with us before." Zero said.
"Well, if you really want me to. I don't have a place to stay so I would be very grateful if I could stay with you." Frost replied.
"It's settled then. You have no place to stay and we have an extra bedroom. You can stay with us just as long as you don't mind being around another guy that's not with us." Smoke said.
"Another guy? You mean, there's another of you and not just three?"
"Yup. His name's Deep Blue but you can call him Blue for short."
"Why didn't he come with you?"
"His leg was broken during our last mission so he had to stay at our house. He has to walk on crutches for a while and he said he'd only slow us down."
"Oh. Well, Smoke, what's your story?"
"What do you mean?" the robot asked confused by that question.
"I mean, how did you become a robot or were you always like this?" Frost asked eager to learn how the cyborg came to be. The group started walking, heading for their home.
"Well, I was just recently turned into what you see before you. I was human before the transformation. The Grandmaster of our old clan, the Lin Kuei, was gonna turn all of us into robot assassins. We four were the only ones who opposed so we escaped but after a while of hiding Sector and Cyrax found us. I was captured and they turned me but they couldn't take my soul, it remained in my body. The only way they could control me then was to make me forget about everything that happened to me up till that day and it worked, for a time anyway. Once I fought my friends I remembered them and all my memories about everything returned. I've been like this ever since then." By the time Smoke finished his story the four of them had reached the forest.
"Wow. You went through all that? Are you okay with being a robot now?" Frost asked.
"I've gotten use to it, I'm okay with it now. It's actually good for some things." While Smoke and Frost talked amongst themselves Zero and Sub-Zero walked behind them minding their own business.
"It's getting late. Don't you think we should find a place to rest soon?" Zero asked.
"I guess you're right. Hey Smoke! Keep a lookout for a place to rest for the night. We should stop and set up camp in a while." Sub-Zero ordered. Smoke nodded in understanding and scanned the forest ahead.
"There's a clearing up ahead. We could stay there and we could make it back to the house by tomorrow afternoon." Smoke said.
"Sounds good. Get ready to stop then." When they reached the clearing they made a fire, set up their stuff, picked lookout shifts, and slept.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
By the next afternoon the group had made it back to the house but when they went in, everything was a mess. There was paper scattered all over, broken furniture, shattered glass, and . . .puddles of water?
"What happened?" Zero asked looking around at the mess.
"I don't wanna know. Blue?! Blue, are you here?!" Sub-Zero yelled into the house but received no answer. "Where is he?"
"I think I know where. Here." Smoke handed Sub-Zero a piece of paper he found. Sub-Zero read it aloud. "Dear Ninjas, It seems that you have left one of your own unprotected. That was a bad choice. If you want him, come and get him. He'll be waiting for you at the abandoned oil refinery to the west of where your home stands. Oh, and you better hurry. How long do you think he'll last with a broken leg and a freshly broken arm? Signed, You Don't Wanna Know."
"That's his name?" Zero asked.
"Zero this is serious. We got to get to him fast. I would guess that he broke his arm as well while fighting whoever took him and these puddles of water are because of his tsunami glaive. We should go. It's definitely a trap but we have to save him." Smoke said.
"I agreed. Stock up on provisions, if there's any left, and we'll head out. Frost, you don't have to come if you don't want to. This is our affair, there's no need for you to get involved." Sub-Zero said.
"No way, I'm coming. Besides, you could use my help and I don't want to stay here and have the same thing happen to me. I'm going." Frost confirmed.
"Fine but I hope that you're fighting skills are as good as you suggest. Zero! Smoke! Lets go!" Sub-Zero walked out of the house and a few seconds later Smoke and Zero followed, each carrying two bags full of food and stuff. Zero gave his extra to Sub-Zero and Smoke gave his to Frost. "Alright everyone. Something tells me this battle is going to be brutal. It's gonna take all of our strength to prevail and all four of us working together. Let us hope that we all make it back alive." Sub-Zero turned to the west and they started their journey to save Deep Blue not knowing what enemy they were to face.

A/N: There! All done for this chap! Can anyone guess who the enemy that they are going to face is? If you do then you get a cookie! (Cookie does not exist . . .) Okay now, please review! Next chap in . . .I don't know when! ^_^!
