I Was Just Going to dance Class!
Part 6
~*~*~In Brianna's mind.~*~*~
As Sub-Zero had set up, Brianna found herself on a beach. She was all alone watching the sun set on the horizon. Sighing, Brianna leaned back on her elbows.
"Cherie?" Brianna heard a familiar voice. She sprang to her feet. "Pierre?" she called. "Brianna?" she heard him yell in response. She started running towards the voice.
It didn't take long for her to find him. She ran to him and he caught her in his arms and held her tight. Pierre's tear-choked voice said things in French to her that she didn't understand, but she knew were loving. Tears of happiness ran down her face as Pierre planted kisses all over her face and neck.
"Pierre, I missed you so much. I'm sorry I couldn't come home, I." Brianna stopped as she noticed Pierre's gaze was focused on something behind her. Brianna turned to see what he was looking at. Her gaze was met with a cold, heartless, icy-blue stare of Sub-Zero.
"Who is this?" Pierre demanded from Brianna. "Sub-Zero this is Pierre, Pierre this is Sub-Zero," she introduced warmly. Brianna watched in horror as Sub-Zero squinted his eyes, much like Scorpion did before he threw his spear. A ball of ice flew from his hand and hit Pierre. Instantaneously, Pierre was frozen from head to toe. Sub-Zero walked up to the iceman and punched him in the chest. Pierre's frozen body shattered like glass. "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT! HE WAS MY BOYFRIEND YOU SICK FUCK!!" Brianna screamed at Sub-Zero. She ran up to him, punching him as hard as she could. Sub-Zero easily grabbed her wrists and held them firmly, but did nit hurt her. Tears flowing from her eyes, Brianna looked up at Sub-Zero to find that he was suddenly wearing a blue mask that covered the bottom half of his face. "I love him! Don't you understand? I don't want to be at your Goddamn stupid ass ninja recruiting camp, ok? I want to be back home in the city where I belong! And I want to be there with Pierre!"
Sub-Zero just stared her down with the same cold stare he had used on her the day she had arrived to the Palace. "Answer me!" she demanded. Suddenly, a deep voice from above rumbled the earth. Sub-Zero turned his head to the sky. "Sub-Zero wins; flawless victory" "You cannot be distracted in your training," was his simple answer. Brianna looked at him, shocked. "This all a game to you, isn't it? What kind of person are you? I told you.I am not going to be a part of your little tiff with that Samsung guy, ok? I will find a way home!" she promised.
"No you won't," Sub-Zero called after her. "Excuse me?" Brianna turned to him, shocked at his remark. "You won't find a way home. You are going to live with me forever and ever, until you die," he told her. "Look, Phantom of the Opera, I am NOT staying with you. I am sick and tired of this nightmare, and I am waking up. NOW!" she told him. Under his mask, Sub-Zero laughed. "You did not love him. You still keep your distinctive characteristic of humor." Brianna walked up to him and slapped him across the face. "How dare you question my love for him?!" Brianna screamed at him.
"Your ignorance is going to be your executioner," Sub-Zero told her. "No.no it won't. You have already broken my heart.you were my executioner," Brianna sobbed. "And what heart do you speak of?" he asked her with amusement in his voice.
Brianna turned around. "You've no place to go," he told her seriously. Brianna looked down and felt tears come to her eyes. "Just leave me alone. Haven't you done enough?" She walked to where her dead boyfriend lay. She picked up a piece of ice that was his face. She lowered her lips to his frozen ones. "Au revoir, mon cherie." Warm tears dotted the ice. "Are you finished?" Sub-Zero asked her.
"Look, asswipe, I've had enough of your shit. I loved him, and you killed him for two stupid reasons. Number one: you wanted approval from some voice that I guess is your God. Number two: you were insanely jealous of him because you wanted me," she choked out angrily. Her statement was followed by a punch to Sub-Zero's face.
Sub-Zero retaliated by grabbing her throat. "You are nothing but a conceded little bitch. I've put up with a lot of your shit, and I don't plan on taking anymore. I saved your life! I could have easily let that freak, Scorpion, kill you, but I didn't. And are you the least bit grateful for it? NO!" the familiar blue light glowed from his eyes. "But you forget so quickly that I saved your ass, too. You were unconscious, and I could have ran away so fast, but I didn't. And the only reason you even decided to fight him was because you want revenge. He did something to you, although I don't know what, but it must have been pretty bad. Now, you let go of my throat you son of a bitch, or else I'll kick you so hard in the crotch your nads are gonna be in your mouth," she threatened bravely.
"You'd never hurt me; you know I could kill you so easily that the fact of you pissing me off scares you to death." "Really? Well you'd never kill me because that is the exact reason you left your little Lin Kuei club. They'd go around killing whoever they pleased without mercy. It was a real shame that the power of ice they gave you didn't surround your heart. You were told to kill a civilian woman, but you couldn't do it! You heart would never be able to get the picture of that woman clutching her baby to her chest out of your mind, would you? Oh yes, the leader of your clan had brainwashed his other warriors enough for them to forget their old lives and know of nothing besides obeying him and showing no mercy. But you wouldn't let that happen to you. You were strong, stronger than the rest.
"There was one though, one who felt the same way as you. The both of you got rid of your masks, which by the way you should take off now because you aren't fooling anyone, and left the Lin Kuei for good. But it wasn't that easy. Your old master sill wanted you dead, so he sent his best warrior after you and your buddy. Scorpion.with the power of a living spear. He found the two of you, didn't he? Smoke wasn't as strong as you though. You were able to take care of Scorpion for the time being, but Smoke wasn't able to hang on. He died two hours later in your arms. So you drifted around until you came across the presence of the lovely Kitana.
"You were intrigued by her, and you thought you were in love. You thought this though, only because she melted away all your thoughts of the Lin Kuei, Scorpion, and Smoke. Kind as she was to you, her feelings were attracted to a young man by the name of Liu Kang. You were insanely jealous of the fact that Kitana loved Liu, and not you. And why shouldn't you be? Liu was much smaller than you were, and you were much more attractive than he was, physically. But Kitana just did not see your charm. So you became meaner and meaner by the day, speaking only when spoken to, just about. Even Rayden noticed your aloofness.
"But then one day, while you were walking down the intricate hallways of a palace you called home, a white light flooded the room. It took you a second to realize that it was coming from the throne room. As you ran to the room, you heard the unfamiliar screech of Firestone tires against black marble. In the throne room were all your 'friends', including the lovely Kitana. There was a large metal thing on wheels sitting in front of you, and out of it stepped a creature even lovelier than the beautiful Kitana. She was a young girl from the realm hat you were the guardian of, Earth. Beautiful, enchanting, but not a clue about where she was and why.
"Brianna. She seemed to think she was dreaming when she arrived. You watched her sleep for hours. Her angelic face seemed to melt the so-called 'barrier' around your heart. Over an extremely short period of time, the two of you grew almost as close as you as Smoke had once been. That's why you like being around her. She had the personality of her own, twisted somehow with Smoke. Brianna also held the beauty of Kitana. You knew she couldn't leave, and you were glad about it. The only problem was her love for someone that she would never see again. So, to prevent her from any further heartbreak, (at least that's what you told yourself, even though deep down you know it was to prevent another Liu Kang-Kitana de ja veu) you brought her to a meditation room that she simply adored. You made sure she was in the right trance and killed her precious boy toy right in front of her eyes. By doing this you showed no mercy, so you came in the old clan gear you swore to yourself you would never wear again. Old habits are hard to get rid of, eh Subby? You tried to play off your guilt by making some smart-ass jokes, pissing her off. And here we are. What's your next move gonna be, Sub-Sweetie?"
Sub-Zero looked at her stunned. Brianna's eyes closed and shot open again with an equal look of shock on her face. "What just happened?" she asked him. But Sub-Zero didn't seem to hear her. He let go of her neck and looked down at the ground. He looked as if he had just gotten the shit kicked out of him. The next thing Brianna knew, there was a bright flash of light, and she was back in the meditation room.
