But Rayden needed a distraction, as if on cue, one of the guards came up to the cell. "Lord Kahn, Shinnok wishes for you to bring the prisoner to the throne room.
Kahn stomped his feet angrily. "Damn! Just when I get a chance to have some fun, he takes it away!"
Rayden took a deep breath, before he could think he grabbed the dagger, snatching it off Kahn's belt. "You will never hurt me again!" He gritted his teeth as he quickly held it over his heart, plunging it deep into the muscle. A scream escaped his bloodied lips. He clenched his fists tightly, trying to think about anything but the agonizing pain in his chest.
"What the Hell?!" Kahn didn't even have time to react before Rayden stabbed himself. He stared down at his brother's body; he was still alive, but not for long.
"Shit, Father's going to kill me if he dies!" Rayden was semi-Counsiness, he could hear Kahn's voice, and he could also feel and hear feet pounding the floor around him. Rayden lay on his stomach, which caused the dagger to go deeper. He cried out again, weakly. More blood pooled around his body.
Suddenly he could hear Shinnok's angry voice. "I told you not to kill him!" He could also hear Shao Kahn's voice choking. "NO...Father, please, I'm sorry! I had no idea he was going to try to commit suicide!"
Rayden could feel strong arms pick him up, he looked up to see his father's angry face. "If you live, I'll really make you wish you were dead!"
Suprislying the pain stopped, he just had a numb feeling creeping over his body. Rayden tried to open his mouth to speak but no words came out; only blood, lots of it.
After a second or so he couldn't feel anything, but he could still hear and see. Shinnok angrily punched Rayden, but he didn't feel it. "Dammit!" He threw his son to the ground. Rayden again lay on his back; staring up at his brother and father.
Shinnok now had Kahn lifted in the air, Kahn kept pleading with Shinnok to stop. "You are so damn stupid! I told you that suicide was a possibility he would might try!" Kahn cried out again as Shinnok started really choking him. Kahn began to gasp for air. "I'm sorry! I...didn't mean for..."
Rayden could now feel coldness creeping through his body. He took one, long, ragged breath, exhaling he whispered. "I'm free." A glazed look came over his eyes, his face also relaxed and his head lolled to one side. His un-seeing eyes directly at Kahn's face, who also lay beside him, also lifeless.
Shinnok stared down at the bodies of his sons. "Bah! Neither one of them were fit to be my heirs!" He snapped his fingers, two guards slowly approached. "Dump things somewhere, anywhere, I don't care!" The guards bowed. Two more guards helped drag the corpses out of the cell as Shinnok stormed back to the throne room. "But I do need an heir to the throne."
Kahn stomped his feet angrily. "Damn! Just when I get a chance to have some fun, he takes it away!"
