Chapter Twenty-Seven
"Do you think we will make it?" asked Fei-Long. He, Rayden, Honda, Sub- Zero, and Kitana are running through the woods searching for Shao's lair.
"We're almost there," Rayden said. "I can feel evil just ahead.
Suddenly, Rayden stops in his tracks. The other four see this and stop in their tracks as well.
"What's wrong, Rayden?" asked Sub-Zero looking at Rayden in confusion.
"I didn't get rid of my immortality," Rayden replied. "With my immortality, I cannot face Shao Kahn."
"Wait a minute, I'm confused," said Fei-Long.
"Me too," Honda agreed. "I mean, you faced Shang Tsung, isn't he a part of Outworld?"
"Yes," Rayden replied. "But Shao Kahn is much stronger and more powerful. I would need to go back to the world of the Elder Gods to give up my immortality."
"Rayden," said Sub-Zero. "We destroyed Shang Tsung and you saved my life. You've done a lot for us during this tournament. Just stay here, the four of us will take care of Shao."
"Are you sure?" Rayden asked.
Sub-Zero nods.
"We'll be careful," said Kitana.
The four of them make their way through the woods.
Rayden nods. "Good luck, my friends."
***
Ryu, Chun-Li, Ken, Guile, Liu, Cammy, Dan, and Mika stand in their fighting stances and look up at the Emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn.
"Don't think that any of you will make it out alive," Shao said. "Tonight, you will all die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"That's what you think!" Guile cried. "Face it Kahn, it's eight against one, you're sure to lose."
"Really?" Shao said. "You should never underestimate me Colonel Guile. No one has ever beaten me and lives even if they have a full army against me! I will give you all an offer. Join Outworld and I shall spare your lives."
"Never!" cried Liu. "Outworld has done nothing but cause chaos and we will put an end to it tonight!"
"Fine then. Let the battle to your deaths begin!"
Meanwhile, Sonya and Jax sit against the wall injured from the previous fights. Sonya looks at Jax. "I hate to just sit here and watch."
"They want us to do that," Jax replied. "Our injuries are not well enough for us to go up against Shao."
"I know, but I just want to save the world."
Jax nods.
The eight fighters stood still and stare at Shao not sure of what move to make first.
"Why are we just standing?" asked Ken. "Let's get him!" With a battle cry, Ken starts to run after him.
"I'm with you!" Dan cried following him. Mika does the same as well. Everyone else follows letting out a battle cry.
Ken jumps in the air and points his leg out. Shao only grabs his leg throwing him aside like a fly. Dan starts to throw series of punches at Shao, but he blocks every one of them. Shao pushes him aside towards Ken. Mika tries to go behind him to grab him from behind, but Shao grabs her arms, delivers a hard blow to her face, and then throws her to the opposite wall. Cammy jumps in next delivering her best kicks. Then, Shao grabs her by her pigtails, swings her around, and then lets go. She flies to where Mika is. Guile gets under him and attempts his backward somersault, but Shao kicks him in his 'special place.' Guile rolls away. When he stops he goes into some extreme pain.
"Cheap!" he cried out.
Chun-Li goes up next, delivers her Thousand-Burst Kicks. She becomes shocked when Shao blocks all of her kicks. Shao delivers an uppercut to her jaw sending her flying backwards.
Ryu jumps in next throwing series of raging punches and kicks. Shao blocks them all of course. Then, he takes Ryu by the head and throws him aside. Liu jumps in doing the same thing as Ryu. Shao only laughs and kicks Liu hard in the stomach sending him flying backwards.
Ken and Dan recover and get up. "Let's get him," Ken said.
"Yahoo!!!" Dan cried out. The two run after Shao from behind. Ken jumps on his back while Dan grabs one of his arms.
"Got him!" Ken cried out.
Everyone else except Mika run over to him and start grabbing him and jumping on him. Shao struggles through the grips.
Mika slowly gets up.
"Mika!" cried Dan. "Come join the great piggy-back ride!"
Mika laughs a little and runs over to the group. As she got closer, Shao manages to free his arms from Dan and Guile. He takes Cammy by her head and smashes her hard to the ground. Cammy screams in pain.
"Cammy!" Mika cried.
Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Liu remain on Shao's back. Ken manages to reach over to Shao and cover his eyes.
"Now you see us, now you don't," Ken said.
"Ken, this is no time for jokes!" Liu cried. He ends up losing his grip on Shao and slips off his back.
Shao becomes angry and grabs Ken by his wrists. Ryu and Chun-Li let go of Shao and slide off his back. Shao throws Ken in front of him, jumps, and knees him hard in the chest. As he jumps, green shadows follow him.
"KEN!!!" Ryu cried as he hears his best friend scream in pain. Shao simply drops Ken after that. Ken lands on the ground and then puts his hands over his broken ribs. Shao lands back down afterwards.
Shao turns to Cammy who is barely conscious. "Two down, six to go!"
The remaining six fighters run towards Shao again. Guile jumps in the air and attempts a roundhouse kick. As Shao blocks the move, Mika slides under Guile and attempts to trip Shao. Shao quickly sees this, jumps a few feet in the air, and stomps on her. Mika screams in pain.
"MIKA!!!!!" Dan cried out. He jumps in the air and performs his Dankuu Kyaku. Shao sees this and blocks the move. Then, he manages to grab Dan's leg and throw him aside again. Mika quickly rolls out of the way ignoring the pain in her stomach.
Guile goes after him again and throws series of punches at Shao. Then Shao grabs his right arm. Guile expects to be thrown to the side again, but to his surprise Shao quickly twists his arm. Guile growls in pain as he feels his elbow being dislocated.
"Am I cheap now?" Shao asked. Guile falls to the ground and hold on to his arm.
The remaining five fighters run towards Shao letting out their battle cries. Shao opens his mouth. A green fireball comes out of his mouth at high speed. Everyone dodges out of the way, but as Dan moves, the fireball hits his side sending him flying backwards. Dan hits his head on the wall knocking him out unconscious.
"DAN!!!!!" Mika cried out. She looks at Shao with rage and runs towards him. She jumps in the air, both of her feet extended out. Shao blocks the move. Mika quickly jumps back and lands on the ground. Shao lunges at her and throws a few punches at her. Mika blocks the first few, but then misses one fast punch from Shao and is hit square in the jaw.
The other four fighters run over to help, but then, Shao takes out his sledge hammer from one of his pockets and slugs Mika hard with it. Mika spits out blood as she flies backwards in the air. She lands on her side. Mika tries to get up, but feels too weak to do so.
Ryu, Chun-Li, and Liu get close to Shao again. Liu jumps in the air, brings his legs forward, and darts towards Shao. He attempts his bicycle kick, but Shao manages to block the move. Then, he does a backward flip, his leg extended, and kicks Liu's back. Liu falls to the ground in pain. Chun-Li runs over to him again but before she did anything, Shao takes out his hammer again and hits her side hard enough to break one of her ribs. Chun-Li cries in pain as Ryu runs over to Shao and throws more punches and kicks at Shao making him drop his hammer. Then, Shao throws an uppercut punch at Ryu's jaw. Ryu flies back a little and falls to the ground.
Shao stands over everyone and laughs. "Like I said before, never underestimate me."
Sonya growls in anger. She slowly gets up and starts running towards Shao.
Jax sees this and looks at Sonya with terror. "Sonya, NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
Sonya jumps in the air and performs her scissor kick. Shao grabs her by the legs and throws her to a wall in fast speed. Sonya hits her head hard on the wall knocking her out.
Jax slowly gets up. "Sonya!" He looks up at Shao. "Shao Kahn!!! You're going to get it!!!!!!" Despite the intense pain running throughout his body, Jax runs as fast as he can towards Shao. Shao's back was turned to Jax. Jax jumps in the air with his leg extended. To his surprise, Shao steps aside. Jax flies past him and lands hard on the ground making his injuries worse.
Shao looks at everyone. "You all lose! Now you will all die." He looks down and sees Chun-Li right next to his feet. He bends down to her and grabs her by the next. "And this one will be the first to die."
Ryu, who was only two feet away, quickly looks up seeing Chun-Li in Shao's grasps. Like with Ken inside the lair, Shao begins to twist her neck.
"SHO-RYU-KEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ryu cried out. He jumps in the air, his arm raised. He manages to hit Shao under his chin. The three of them fly high in the air. As Shao lands on the ground, Ryu manages to catch Chun-Li in his arms. He lands on his feet while Shao lands on his side.
It was then that Liu gets up and runs over to Shao. Just before Shao could recover from the blow, Liu gets to him and rapidly throws punches and kicks at Shao.
Ryu lays Chun-Li down back on the ground. Chun-Li looks up at Ryu. "You saved my life again."
Ryu smiles. "Don't worry. Liu and I will take care of Shao. You and the others rest."
Chun-Li nods. Ryu gets up and runs over to aid Liu.
Shao manages to throw a punch at Liu but as he does, Ryu jumps in and rapidly throws more kicks and punches at Shao. Shao only manages to block a few, but Ryu then throws a regular uppercut sending Shao flying in the air.
Shao lands on the ground. Ryu and Liu watch as Shao slowly gets up. "Lucky shot, but you'll still die!" He runs over to them. Liu runs towards him as well. Shao throws a few punches, but Liu blocks them. Then, he gives him a hard slug, and then kicks him in the chest. Ryu jumps in and throws a hard punch at his face, his jaw, and then his stomach.
"He's getting weaker!" Liu cried out. "Let's finish this!"
"Right!" Ryu cried out. He jumps in the air, puts on leg out, and starts spinning rapidly. "TATSUMAKI SENPUU KYAKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He hits Shao in the face multiple times. As soon as he lands, Liu jumps in the air, points both of his legs forward, and spins his body rapidly bringing himself towards Shao. He hits him hard enough to break one of his ribs.
Ryu collects energy in his hands. Liu quickly returns next to Ryu and puts his hands out.
"On a count to three," said Liu. "We release our energies."
"Right!"
Shao slowly gets up not realizing what Ryu and Liu are about to do.
***
"Over there!" cried Honda. He points in front of him.
The others see Shao's Lair. Not only did they see the lair, but also sees their friends scattered around.
"They're not dead, are they?" asked Fei-Long.
Kitana looks at all of them. "No, they're all still alive."
"Look over there!" cried Sub-Zero. The others see where he is pointing that. Ryu and Liu are up watching Shao struggle to get up.
"What the......" Kitana only managed to say.
***
"One...." Liu cried out. "Two.........three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"SHINKU HADOUKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"FIREBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The two warriors release their powers. The energies swirl around each other then unite as one. Then, in very high speed, it shoots towards Shao and hits him hard enough to fly backwards.
"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shao cried out before slamming his body against the wall. He falls onto his stomach unconscious. Then, the boulders and rocks about him quickly fall towards him until they bury him completely.
Ryu and Liu look at the boulders with their arms still extended out. For a minute, there was silence.
"We did it," Ryu said.
"Yes," Liu replied. "He is finally destroyed."
"Whoa!" cried a voice. Ryu and Liu turn around and see Sub-Zero, Kitana, Fei-Long, and Honda walk up towards them.
"Nice job you guys," said Kitana. "The Outworld is no more!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning strikes just next to them, startling the warriors. Rayden appears next to them.
"Well done my friends," Rayden said. "The world is free again. Now, I must go and heal the others."
As he heals Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Dan, Mika, Cammy, Sonya, and Jax, the others look up at the sky. It starts to turn into an orange color indicating that it's past dawn.
When Rayden finishes healing the others, Dan and Mika run over to each other.
"It's over!" cried Dan as he and Mika embrace.
"Let's go back to Japan and celebrate!" Mika cried. The two share a passionate kiss.
Guile checks his arm out. "Wow, I'm cured!" Then, he looks up at the sky. "You can rest in peace now, Charlie."
Everyone else hugs each other and then celebrate their victories with cheers.
"Now, there is only one thing left to do," said Ken. Everyone looks at him. "Pack our bags and get off this island!"
"Good idea!" cried Honda. "I can't wait to get home and eat some sushi!"
Jax then looks at Cammy. Knowing that she had nowhere to go, he walks up to her. "How about you come back with Sonya and I. I know a military in England that may take you in."
Cammy smirks a little. "Thank you."
"Wait!" cried Mika. "So if this is all over, who won the tournament?"
Everyone thought for a minute. Finally, Rayden said, "No one did! Even though Sub-Zero killed Shang, you had to fight Shang in an actual tournament."
Everyone nods in agreement.
"Why are we standing around?" asked Fei-Long. "Let's get out of here while it's morning!"
Ken, Guile, Cammy, Dan, Mika, Liu, Rayden, Kitana, Fei-Long, Honda, Sub- Zero, Sonya, and Jax start walking back through the woods. Chun-Li notices Ryu looking back at the boulders.
She walks over to him and wraps her arms around her waist. Ryu feels this and puts his hands over her.
Chun-Li stands on her toes to whisper in his ear. "What are you thinking?" she asked.
Ryu looks over at Chun-Li. "I have a bad feeling about something."
A concern look appears on Chun-Li's face. "Like what?"
Ryu shrugs. "Like this is not over yet."
Chun-Li places one of her hands on Ryu's face. "Don't worry, Shao's gone now. It's the end of that......but a new beginning of something else." She gives him a seductive smile.
It took a few seconds for Ryu to get the message. He leans over to her and the two share a passionate kiss for a minute. Neither of them wanted the moment to end.
After breaking the kiss, Chun-Li takes his hand. "Let's catch up with the others."
"Right," Ryu said. Holding hands, the two run through the woods to catch up with the others.
***
An hour later........
The nameless island is now deserted. The survivors of the tournament are now off the island.
At Shao Kahn's Lair, There is nothing left but rocks and boulders scattered around the grounds.
Then, a couple of rocks slide to the side slowly.
A hand slowly merges out from underneath.........
[The End]
