Chapter 2

He walked to scorpion angrily he retracted his bloody blades. Then he turned to Mileena "What is the meaning of this" He questioned angrily.

"Who is this imbecile?" Mileena queried, quizzically.

"What are you talking about? Don't you love me?"

"Ha!!" Mileena laughed evilly "The only person I love is Scorpion"

Baraka turned his attention to Scorpion fire burning in his eyes. "What have you done to her Snake?"

"Actually, my name is Scorpion." He laughed diabolically.

Baraka extended his blades and rushed Scorpion, then suddenly Mileena jumped in front of him blocking his path to Scorpion. She drew her two knives and viciously attacked him, he blocked every attack, but refused to go on the offence not wanting to hurt her.

She jumped into the sky and came back down with a kick connecting to Baraka's skull causing him to fall flat on his face. He pushed himself up to a stooping position, stuck his right leg out, spun around and tripped her. He was about to impale her, but his love for her stopped him. While he stood still Mileena saw her chance and kicked him. The force of the kick propelled him across the room. He fell into one of Scorpion's portals.

He appeared in a desert like place, where he heard heavy footsteps running toward him on either side of him. As his blades were already extended, he was ready for anything coming. As he scanned the area, he saw heading towards him on his left countless number of Shokans (half human, half dragon) and running towards him and on his right were Centurians (half human, half goat). They were rushing towards toward each other at full speed, seemingly unaware of his presence. Baraka recognized Goro leading the Shokans and Motaro leading the Centurians. He hurriedly ran out of the battle as it commenced. Centurians and Shokans fell everywhere.

He hid in a cave near by. After a day of waiting he noticed the noise of the bloody battle had subsided so he went outside to check. The ground was littered with the bodies of the dead, and the floor was painted red with blood. He saw Goro walking away with a few other Shokans and ran to him. The Shokans around Goro that were left heard saw him and raised their guard.

Baraka shouted, "I mean no harm! I just need ask your princess a question!"

"What businesses do you have with Princess Kitana?" questioned Goro.

"I need to ask her something very important." Baraka replied.

"You look like an assassin sent by Shao Kahn."

"No, trust me." Baraka answered.

Then, suddenly, three Centaurs came out of nowhere on the offensive. This is the perfect chance to prove I am good for now, Baraka thought.

The Shokans were too tired to fight so Baraka extended his blade and then jumped on a Centaur's back, continuously stabbed him in his back of his skull. The Centurian fell to the floor, causing the others to rush Baraka. But Baraka was not afraid. The first centaur swung his arm after Baraka and Baraka quickly ducked, chopped of the centaur's arm then spun around and chopped his head off. Blood spurt from his neck like a fountain. The last one left, attacked with his hind legs, Baraka slid under his legs and slit him open. Baraka then smiled showing his deadly teeth and retracted his blades. "Now do you trust me?"
