"The Lone Warrior"
By: Green Devil
Ch.12: "In the End"
The four ninjas had been searching for the abandoned oil refinery for two days and still no sign of it. On the third day, Smoke was scouting ahead and saw the end of the forest give way to a vast expanse on plains. What he saw in the plains had him turning on his communicator to tell the others the good news.
"Sub- Zero, I've spotted the oil refinery about half a mile from the edge of the forest." Smoke reported.
"Good work Smoke. Wait for us where you are and we'll head there together." Sub-Zero replied. Smoke answered with an 'Okay' and waited for the others anxiously.
About half an hour later, Sub-Zero and his group met up with Smoke at the edge of the forest and continued on through the grassy plains together. As they reached the oil refinery they began shouting hoping Blue would answer.
"Blue!? Where are you?!" Sub-Zero yelled.
"Deep Blue!?" Zero, Smoke, and Frost also yelled. After a few seconds of shouting they heard an answer.
"Sub-Zero?! I'm up here?" Blue exclaimed.
"Where?!" The oldest ice ninja asked.
"Up here!" The four ninjas looked up and saw that Blue was hanging by his wrists from the top of an oil tank.
"Blue! Are you alright?!" Zero asked.
"Well, my wrists hurt and I'm a little hungry, plus, it's kinda hot, but other than that I'm fine!" Blue answered.
"We'll be right up!" Sub-Zero yelled and looked around for a ladder. He found one on the side of the tank and started climbing but as he neared the top a fireball came out of nowhere and hit the ladder. As it fell, Sub-Zero ran up it, jumped, and grabbed the last bar on the part of the ladder still connected to the tank. He hurried up the rest of the ladder and over to the chain holding Blue. He froze part of it, broke it, and carefully pulled Blue up.
"Ow! Hey, be careful! My arm's broken you know!" Blue called up to Sub- Zero.
"Sorry! I'm being as careful as I can!" the ice ninja called back. When Blue was close enough to reach, the ice ninja grabbed Blue's unbroken arm and pulled him onto the top of the tank.
"Thanks! It was tiring hanging there for four days straight."
"Well come on. We have to leave here as fast as we can." Sub-Zero broke the chains binding Blue's hands. "Try to keep your left arm straight so that you won't hurt it anymore than it already is."
"Okay." Blue replied. Sub-Zero made a path of ice leading to the ground like a slide.
"After you." Sub-Zero told Blue. The water ninja complied and slid down the cold ice to the ground where the rest of the ninjas were waiting. As he got off the 'slide' Sub-Zero came down after him.
"So was that it? No fight? This was way too easy." Zero said.
"You're right but, I think there is a fighter waiting for us . . .up there." Frost pointed to the top of the tank behind them. The ninjas looked up and saw what the female ice ninja was pointing to. It was the sorcerer Shang Tsung!
"What?! But he should've been in deep freeze forever!" Smoke exclaimed.
"Apparently he was able to get free." Sub-Zero said. "Tsung! Get down here and fight us!"
"Hmm, let me think about that. Uh, no! But you can come up here." Shang Tsung said.
"Gladly." Sub-Zero mummered and turned to the group. "All right. We're all gonna have to work together if we want to win this fight, even you Blue. Now, lets go!" With that said, they all charged Tsung and prepared to fight the battle of their lives.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The fight lasted long into the night with neither side winning or losing. Shang Tsung had surprised the ninjas with four of his own warriors so that they each had an opponent. Sub-Zero fought Tsung himself, Deep Blue fought, as best he could, the green ninja ha had fought before. His name was Reptile. Smoke fought another sorcerer named Quan Chi, Zero fought a ninja with red and black garb named Ermac, and Frost fought a ninja with purple and black garb named Rain.
After fighting for so long, everyone was exhausted but no side dared show any sign of giving in. Blue, however, could not go on with his injuries and collapsed onto the yellow grass.
"Blue!" Sub-Zero yelled worried about his long time friend.
"Keep your attention on your own battle or you might get hurt!" Tsung knocked the ice ninja to the ground. He raised his fist but the ninja kicked him off, stopping the attack.
"Fine then. I will keep my attention on our fight so that I can defeat you!" Sub-Zero shot a blast of ice at Tsung but the sorcerer only chuckled and blocked the shot.
"Is that the best you can do? You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that if you want to defeat me." Shang Tsung replied and they resumed their fight.
~*~
"Time to die blue ninja! Hope the heat in hell doesn't dry you up!" Reptile hissed. He brought his hands together and a green ball began to form in his palms. Deep Blue gathered the last of his strength to counter the attack by slamming his glaive into the ground.
"I'm not gonna die like this so, why don't you have a taste of my Tsunami Wave!" Blue yelled and a giant wave erupted from the ground where his weapon was planted. Reptile gasped and looked at the huge wave in horror. It crashed down on top of the green ninja and swept him away.
When the water cleared, Reptile was nowhere to be found so Deep Blue fell to his knees in relief. 'Come on you guys, you have to win too.' Blue thought then fell to the ground unconscious.
~*~
Frost was doing really well against Rain. Her cocky attitude got her into trouble some times but her moves saved her every time. She dodged most of his attacks and delivered quite a bit of her own. This really pissed off Rain, mostly because Frost was a girl.
"You're really starting to annoy me girl. Take this!" Rain raised his hand to the sky and called out something. Clouds began to form in the sky above the two of them, thunder rumbling in them. Rain then called out something else and lighting shot out from the clouds aimed directly for Frost. She quickly evaded and evaded again when more lightning struck. Frost growled and summoned her ice daggers.
"Fine. If you want to play like that, we'll play like that." The lady ice ninja jump kicked Rain to stun him for a few seconds while she impaled her daggers into his thighs. Blood spurted out as Rain howled in pain.
"Now to finish you off." Frost smiled and froze Rain's whole body. She then ripped one of her daggers from the purple ninja's leg and used it to slice his head off.
"Hmm. That wasn't so hard." Frost looked around. 'Blue's down so I guess I should help him. Go guys. Beat the hell out of those three.'
~*~
Zero was doing pretty good against Ermac however; he now outnumbered two to one. Ermac's double that he created from himself was now fighting him as well.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're a cheater?" Zero questioned.
"As a matter of fact, they have, but oh well!" Ermac and his completely black double charged at Zero, each aiming for a punch. When they got close enough, he ducked and sweeped the others feet knocking them down. The blue ninja then froze the two ninjas to the ground before they could get back up.
"Time to die." Zero raised his foot and brought it down on Ermac's head then on his double's. They were both instantly crushed and Ermac was sent to the Nether Realm. 'Come on Smoke, Sub-Zero. You got to win.'
~*~
"You're an excellent fighter Smoke. You should join us. You'd be a very valuable warrior." Quan Chi stated.
"I'm sorry but I'll never join you. It was people like you who turned me into this!" Smoke yelled and attacked Chi again. He punched and kicked the sorcerer then shot his harpoon. It grabbed Quan Chi's right leg and pulled him toward Smoke.
"Ready to die?" the cyborg asked.
"Not quite, but you can try." Chi replied. Smoke shrugged and kicked the other off his harpoon and into one of the oil tanks. He busted through the metal and ended up knee deep in oil. Chi smiled wickedly when he realized the tanks still held some oil and lit a green flame in his palm.
"Well Smoke, I'm not ready to die but I hope you are." The sorcerer said. He threw the ball of green flame above him, jumped out of the tank, and disappeared.
"No!" Smoke yelled as the flame descended on the oil. He could do nothing to stop it so he dove for cover.
The tank exploded sending flames and black smoke everywhere. Smoke had been unharmed, and was thankful for that, but the fire was spreading to the other tanks. If that one had oil, chances were the others had some as well.
'I got to get the others away from here and warn Sub-Zero!' the cyborg thought and ran to where he had spotted Zero, Frost, and Deep Blue.
"Come on you three, we gotta go!" Smoke yelled as he neared the other three.
"Yeah, we know, but what about my brother?" Zero asked.
"I'll come back for him but you need to get away from here." Smoke answered. He lifted Blue onto his shoulder and ran in the direction of the forest with the two ice ninjas following.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Sub-Zero?! Sub-Zero, are you okay?!" Smoke yelled over the roar of the flames.
"I'm fine Smoke, but you got to get away from here!" Sub-Zero replied though the wall of fire.
"I'm not leaving you! I promised Zero I'd bring you back with me and I'm going to!" Smoke scanned through the fire with his censors and found Sub- Zero surrounded by a circle of flames with pieces of rapidly melting ice scattered on the ground.
"But Smoke, you can't get near the flames! Fire and oil don't mix as you can see!" the ice ninja tried to reason with the cyborg.
"Don't worry, I won't blow up." An explosion sounded.
"Smoke?!"
"I'm right here. Didn't I tell you I wouldn't explode? That was another tank going off. So, where's Shang Tsung?"
"All around us." The ice ninja said.
"You mean, you shattered him into all these pieces?" Smoke asked. Sub-Zero nodded. "Wow. Good job. Now let's get out of here." Smoke helped Sub-Zero to his feet but the ice ninja could not support his self.
"What's wrong?" the cyborg asked.
"Tsung got my leg with one of his fireballs. I put a patch of ice over it but, I can't walk on it." Another explosion erupted.
"Hmm. I'll have to carry you then. Come on. We have to get out of here quick!" Smoke said. Sub-Zero got on his back and he began to run through the fire as fast as he could.
"Smoke, look! That trail of fire is headed straight for the refinery!" Sub- Zero exclaimed.
"Damn! If that thing goes, this whole area goes!" Smoke replied.
"Better speed up then."
"Yeah." A few mechanical noises sounded and Smoke's cyborg legs began to run faster. At the exact time they made it to the forest line, and to the others, the whole oil refinery exploded. Smoke and debree was sent flying every which way.
"Glad we weren't there for that." Zero commented.
"I agree." Frost added.
"Well then, what do you say we head home?" Smoke asked.
"Home? A now awake Blue asked.
"Yeah home. Our home." Sub-Zero answered. The rest agreed that their house was now their home and started on their way back hoping to never see Shang Tsung or anyone like him again.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"You think you've seen the last of me ice ninja? Well, you're wrong, very wrong. Ha, ha, ha!" Screams and yells of agreement were heard. "You will pay . . ."
