I Was Just Going to Dance Class!

Part 7

"Brianna, are you ok?" Sub-Zero asked her when she came back. "Oh Subby, I had a horrible dream!" she wailed. Sub-Zero once again took her into an awkward hug as she repeated what she had occurred in her meditation session. His face went pale as she recited his entire life after the Lin Kuei. "Subby?" she asked after he didn't talk for a while. "Yeah.You just had a bad dream, Brianna," he said.

After she calmed down, Brianna walked with Sub-Zero down the hall way to the throne room where they ran into Rayden.

"It is good you are here," Rayden said seriously. "In three days time, you will be sent on your first mission." Sub-Zero looked at Rayden. "Lord Rayden, I do not mean disrespect by this, but don't you think that her first mission is given to her a little early?" Sub-Zero asked. "Sub- Zero, your question does not show disrespect but concern. I am proud of you for that. As for the answer to your question, she is young and inexperienced, but she has experience of her own, which will lead her," he answered.



~*~*3 days time later.~*~*~



Brianna's mission was awaiting her. There was a gathering at Shao Kahn's lair that she were supposed to sneak into it, find out what the commotion was, and come back unnoticed.

"Now remember what I told you," Sub-Zero told her for the millionth time that day. "I know, I know, be in and out of there. I can handle this," she reassured him. Sub-Zero sighed. "Scorpion will be there. So will Reptile. They are both Lin Kuei members, and they will stop at nothing to get to me. They will kill you gladly if it makes me unhappy," he explained. "And it would make you unhappy?" she asked him. "Sorely," he leaned down the few feet to kiss her, she thought, but he ended up just leaving a peck on her forehead.

Brianna smiled up at him. "See you soon," she blew him a kiss. Walking to the computer room, she met up with Sonya, Johnny, Kitana and Rayden. She waved goodbye and walked through a doorway thing that took her to the outside of Shao Kahn's lair. "Sweet crib," she commented.

~*~*~*~*

Brianna went in the door. There were people everywhere, all drinking from tall glasses. She silently sneaked to the giant punch bowl thing and poured about three bottle of whiskey in it. She sneaked back out and waited about an hour, then proceeded to enter the castle as if she belonged there. Everyone was drunk off their asses. Brianna smiled, knowing she was going to have fun doing this. Her grin grew wider as she noticed a stage with a microphone hooked up to it and speakers.

Brianna hooked the speakers up to the CD player for. "How are y'all feelin tonight?" Brianna asked through the microphone. "Who are you?" came a drunken slur from an audience member. "Why, I'm the DJ of course. I'm here to rock this party. SO ARE YOU GUYS READY TO HAVE FUN?!" she asked. "YEAH!!" came the response. "YO, I CAN'T HEAR ALL OF YOU GUYS OUT THERE! I SAID, ARE YOU READY TO HAVE SOME FUN?!" Once again there was a chorus of 'Yeah!'s.

"OK, now I got some new stuff for you. It's from a certain band that I like to call The Offspring. I think it describes me best. So here you go ORIGINAL PRANKSTER!" The music started, along with the party.

Brianna jumped off the stage and danced her way through the crowd. She hit the shuffle, repeat all button on her CD player and left it where it was.

Once again Brianna danced her way through the crowd until she was met with a familiar face. "Scorpion!" she gasped. "Hey, do I know you? You look really fammilliar," he slurred. He's the one! Brianna thought to herself. "No, but if you wanna go hang out, I could be familiar," she smiled flirtatiously. "OK, but lemme get some more of this beverage," he said, pulling her by the hand. Scorpion got more punch and dragged Brianna across the room again.

Brianna 'danced' with Scorpion, who really didn't know how to. The music switched to Nirvana. "Scorpion, do you know anywhere where we can have some privacy?" Scorpion nodded and led her to a room that was off the main ballroom.

1 Meanwhile, back at Rayden's palace.



"Is she okay?" Sub-Zero asked Rayden for the thirtieth time. "Yes, she's fine." Rayden trailed off. He was astounded that the procedure that the four had used was actually working. "Let me see," Sub-Zero pleaded, looking at the computer screen. "OK, you may take the next shift of watching them. If something goes wrong, tell me and we'll go get them," Rayden finally gave in.

"Focus Brianna," Sub-Zero told the computer. The screen showed a picture of Brianna and Scorpion in one of the rooms. He watched with rage as the events unfolded right before his eyes.

*~*~*~*

"So Scorpion, what are you doing here?" she asked him. He was sitting on a bed that was in the center of the room. Brianna sat down behind him and rubbed his shoulders. "You really wanna know?" he asked. "Yeah," she said in his ear. Brianna rubbed Scorpion's back while he told her what was going on.

"Shao Kahn wants to take control of the portal to Earth so he can conquer it. He's put Shang Tsung in charge of training the best of all of Kahn's warriors for the Tournament in 8 months," Scorpion explained. "Really?" Brianna tried to sound as interested as possible with out blowing her cover. She reached up and pulled Scorpion's mask down. "There, now I can hear you better," she smiled. He smiled back at her. "But first, he had to take care of the defenders of Earth," he explained.

"So what are you doing here? I thought you were loyal to the Lin Kuei," she stated. "I am, but I am here for revenge on that backstabbing bastard Sub-Zero." he trailed off. He spun quickly to face her. "That's where I know you from. I went to your-" Scorpion's sentence was cut off by Brianna's mouth crashing on his. She didn't know what else to do. Scorpion was still intoxicated, and gave in to her.

He ran his hands down her body. "Scorpion." she complained. "Shhh.relax." he calmed her down. Brianna sighed and allowed Scorpion to have his way with her.



~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sub-Zero could not watch any more. He felt the same way he did whenever he used to see Kitana kiss Liu. Why did I even bother getting my hopes up about her? It's obvious she is just a whore. But still.I wish I had someone, even though they could be a distraction from my destiny.
