The Pain Won't Go Away: Part 10
By: M14Mouse

Liu was getting drag down the hallway by two lizard men. His body looks like that he went to hell and back. His friends did not look very much better either. Liu Kang look up as he heard two doors open. He and his friends were dragged into a large throne room. Lighten candles seems to dim the darkness of the room. In the center of the room is a black marble altar. Surrounding the altar was eight black marble pillars. Each pillar had chains hanging from them. Above the altar was a huge glass window. Liu could see the eternal storms of Odd World. The lizard men were chain Liu and the others to the pillars. In a hazy of white mist, Shinnok appear holding a staff with red crystal on top.

"BRING HER!"

The doors open as two lizard men were carrying Sonya. Sonya was cover in wilts, bruises, and cuts. Sonya seems to be in shock. Her eyes were rol back in her head and almost dead. What injuries did not show was cover in red and white leather that cover her body loosely. The lizard men lay her down on the altar then they chain her down. Her arms were drapes over the altar. Shinnok smirks as he looks down at her. Liu could only look down. His stomach was twists in guilt. He could have saved her! Quin Chi appears behind the guards. Qiun Chi was wrap in black, flowing robes. He was holding a similar staff but with a white crystal.

"Welcome, honor guests!" Shinnok said as a wide smirk wash over his face. Quin Chi stood next to Sonya. Quin Chi looks quite happy as well. "It is time for the end. No Mortal Kombat. No final heroes that will come and save the day! Your time ends and ours begin forever!" Quin Chi said with a laugh. Shinnok smirks as he rose his staff into the air. Shinnok began to chant.

Aasu, Gogyou, Hageshiikaze, Himizu

Emnetsujigoka arasu inochi botai.

Chiai boukon ando inochi chi

Atashi ageru deshou boukon ashirau geetos.

Shinnok's crystal glow violent. The earth began to shake. The wind and hail began to beat against the glass window. The candles become small torches in the room.A reddish shield appears to circle the altar and the knife appears in above Sonya's chest.

Aasu

A loud bang as the doors flew open. Several guards fell to the ground. Smoke pants softly as he was in a fight stance. Jennie was right behind him with her knife in her hand. Jennie smiles.

"HEY, Baldy!"
