Chapter Eighteen
Chun-Li and Jax watch as Cammy slowly opens her eyes revealing the blue- colored iris. She starts looking around a little. When she spots Chun-Li and Jax, she gasps loudly and sits up fast.
"Whoa, Cammy!" Jax cried putting his hands on her shoulders.
"Where the bloody hell am I?" she demanded her British accent echoing through the cave.
Jax gives her a bottle of water. "You're in a cave where we're staying. You'll be safe here I promise."
Cammy calms down a little. "How did I end up in this tournament anyways?"
Chun-Li bends down to her. "Bison has been controlling you mind for quite sometime, five years the most. Bison is gone now, but the man who killed him is far worse, but at least answer me this........is Shao Kahn controlling your mind in any way? If so, can you remember anything?"
Cammy looks down. She stays silent for a while before looking back at Chun- Li. "Well, one minute I was giving orders to my master, the next I'm being told to exterminate my opponent in this tournament."
Chun-Li looks at Jax and whispers, "My guess is that the farthest she can remember is Bison's last order before Shao captured her which is obviously not very long."
She looks at Cammy again. It was obvious that she was frightened and wasn't sure exactly what is going on.
Jax looks at her. "Just rest for now. Hopefully Chun-Li can get more information about what happened to you."
Cammy only nods and lays back down closing her eyes.
Meanwhile outside, some of the fighters were eating dinner.
"I'm really not in the mood for fish," said Sonya. "Dhalsim was a vegetarian."
"Tell me about it," said Ken putting his bowl down.
"So what is happening now?" asked Rolento.
Guile clears his throat. "Chun-Li and Jax are checking up on Cammy, the four of us are eating, Guy and Kitana are at one of those fancy dinner parties Kitana was invited to, and everyone else is sparring."
"Fancy dinner party?" Ken said. "I'm a millionaire! Why didn't they invite me?"
"Guess you're not that special," Sonya replied trying not to laugh.
Ken sighs.
"Speak of the devil," said Rolento pointed forward. Everyone turns around and sees Guy and Kitana walking towards them.
"How was the dinner?" asked Guile.
Guy smirks. "The best. I bet you that if Ryu saw all the food that was being served, he would devour all of it, even from other people's plates."
Everyone laughs.
"Yeah, he eats like a horse," said Ken. "You should see him whenever my place serves food."
Kitana's face then turns serious. "Where's Jax?"
"You need me?" a voice said. Everyone turns to see Jax and Chun-Li walking out of the cave towards the group.
Kitana looks at Jax. "They made an announcement about a midnight tournament and all of the fighters are invited."
"A midnight tournament?" cried Rolento. He spins his baton. "I'm ready for it!"
"What's this midnight tournament about?" Jax asked.
"Fighters in the audience will be chosen to fight," Kitana replied. "The challenger is..........Goro."
Everyone becomes silent.
"I was wondering when we would hear about him," said Ken.
"Sounds like Goro is ready," Jax replied. He puts his fingers in his mouth and releases a very loud whistle.
A few minutes later all of the fighters gather around the fire. Jax makes the announcement about Goro.
"Hope you have a strong stomach," said Sonya. "He's not a pretty sight."
"That's no worry for me," said Honda patting his big belly.
Jax looks around then sighs. "Now Fei-Long and Sub-Zero are missing."
Everyone looks around and realizes that indeed the two of them, along with Dan and Mika, are missing.
"What happened to them?" asked Ryu.
"I got a bad feeling that they're dead," Jax replied. "But we can't give up hope. This I'm going to do one more time.........I need two brave men to go out and find them, if anything suspicious happens, try to get back here immediately."
"I'll go!" cried Cody.
Rolento passes Cody a walkie-talkie. "This will help."
Cody looks at Guy. "You going to come too, buddy?"
Guy looks at Kitana. Her eyes seem to plead, not wanting him to leave.
Cody got the message. "Well, I've got to admit, if I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't want to go either."
"In that case," said Honda. "I'll go with you."
"All right then," Jax said. "Cody and Honda, all I ask for you is to be careful and come back safe whether you find them or not."
Cody and Honda nod.
"We'll see you guys later!" Cody cried. He pats Guy's shoulder. "See you around, buddy."
"See you," Guy replied as his best friend and the sumo wrestler make they way into the forest.

After hours of waiting, Dan, Mika, Fei-Long, and Sub-Zero are released from the chains by Shang Tsung's guards.
They are escorted into a small room with the guards pointing bow and arrows at the good fighters. In the room is a low wooden table with a black candle in the middle. Four plates lay on the table holding their raw meat.
"That's unhealthy," said Fei-Long. "But we do need to live."
The meat wasn't all that bad, at least it was cooked a little so that maggots wouldn't form in their stomachs (A/N: Eck! That's the most disgusting thing I've ever described!).
After finishing their meats, Fei-Long notices that the guards were outside of the room.
"Guys," he whispered. "We have a chance to escape and get back to the tournament."
"But what about the guards?" asked Mika.
"We've got Sub-Zero," Fei-Long said.
"What about me?!" Dan said. "I have my Gadouken!"
"Yeah," Fei-Long said.
Unfortunately, one of the guards was listening to the conversation.
"Let's go," Fei-Long said. The four of the slowly get up.
About four guards jump out of the way.
Sub-Zero puts his hands out freezing all four guards.
"That was easy," Mika said.
"I know how we can get out of here faster," Sub-Zero said. He puts one leg up to one of the guards' necks. "Hope you guys know how to skate!"
With his leg, he pushes the guard down and begins sliding out the door.
"That was awesome!" cried Dan.
Fei-Long does the same to one guard and follows Sub-Zero. Mika does the same next. Dan went last and the four of them slide down the long halls.
Sub-Zero looks down at the guard he stood on top of. "The ices are melting. It won't be long before the guards start moving."
Everyone steps off the guards. When Dan steps off, he slips and lands on his rear.
"OW!!!" he cried. "My behind!"
Fei-Long runs over to Dan and helps him up. "No time to complain! We've got to get out of here!"
The four of them begin running down the hall hoping to find an exit. Mika was in front followed by Dan, then Fei-Long, and finally Sub-Zero.
After running for five minutes, two guards appear out of nowhere. They manage to grab Sub-Zero and Fei-Long.
"NNOOO!!!" Mika cried. She and Dan stop.
"Go!" Sub-Zero cried. "This guard has a part of my hand that will help freeze!"
"No!" Dan cried. "We're not leaving you! We're all friends here, and friends stick together!"
"The least you can do is go back to the cave and tell the others what's going on!" Fei-Long cried.
"He's right Dan," Mika said. "It's better for some of us to go back than none of us."
Dan looks at Sub-Zero and Fei-Long one more time. "We'll be back for you, we promise."
"We're counting on you!" Fei-Long cried. Dan and Mika start making their way down the hall.
As they disappear, Fei-Long and Sub-Zero are dragged away.
"Good luck," Sub-Zero whispers.
