Chapter 3

"Yeah, I trust you... For now..." said Goro.

Baraka followed Goro to the Princess's Castle energetically because he couldn't wait to go to Princess Kitana to ask her how to change portals, so he could return to the Nether Realm.

When he arrived at the castle, Goro went and spoke to the two guards guarding the door. Goro spoke lowly so Baraka couldn't hear anything. Then the guard nodded to show his admittance. The large door opened in a loud creak. Baraka entered; it was a large place, hallways were everywhere; pictures of Sindel, Kitana's mother, Kitana, and Jade. "This way..." gestured Goro, entering the thrown room. Baraka followed.

"Princess Kitana, this creature would like to speak with you," said Goro.

"Okay. Everybody leave the room, please. Let's have some privacy. He looks like he has grave news." Kitana asked.

Everybody left immediately.

"What do you want?" Kitana asked.

"I need a portal to the Nether Realm." Baraka replied.

"For what reason?"

After explaining to Kitana why he needed the portal, Kitana asked, "Why should I help you and my sister? You guys are villains."

"Please, I really need your help. I love Mileena." Baraka pleaded, with a melancholy look on his face.

Then suddenly a dead guard just flew through the door breaking it. He was covered with blood. Baraka extended his blades and Kitana took out her two fan blades. Then two more guards flew out of the hole already in the door. Their heads were missing. Then a green ninja appeared entering the room.

"Reptile!" shouted Baraka.

"Long, hissss, time don't sssssee, hissss." Hissed reptile

"What are you doing? I thought you were dead!" Baraka shouted.

"Ha! When, hisss, Shang Tsung died, hisss, I went, hisss, off on own. I had no leader and was stranded. Then I met Scorpion he asked me to join his clan, hissss, I gladly joined as the general of his army and assassin. And I was sent to kill you! So now enough with the chit-chat, lets start the killingssss."

Reptile camouflaged and threw a fireball in Kitana's chest; he needed to get rid of any obstacle to his goal. The fireball knocked her unconscious. Reptile then walked up behind Baraka, but Baraka heard his footsteps and spun around and tripped him, revealing him. Baraka tried to impale him but Reptile rolled out of the way and flipped up. Reptile flipped over and spit acid in Baraka's direction but Baraka blocked it with his blades. The spit did not affect the blades because they were made by pure titanium.

Then Reptile rushed Baraka with a barricade of punches and kicks. Baraka tried to block them, but one kick escaped his blockage and connected with his chest causing him to fall to the floor. Then Reptile pulled of his mask exposing his Alligator like face, he opened his mouth and his tongue flew out and wrapped around Baraka's neck and started choking him. Baraka quickly chopped off Reptile's tongue, causing Reptiles green blood to spurt everywhere.

Reptile backed up into muscular figure. Reptile looked up to see Goro with a smirk on his face. Goro picked Reptile up with his bottom hands and used the top hands to pound on reptile's upper body. When Goro finished Reptile's top half was no more.

"FATALITY!!!!" Baraka shouted, smiling.

When Kitana awoke, she honoured Baraka for saving her life and allowed him to go into any portal he wished. Baraka was glad. He chose Nether Realm, obviously. "Thank you." were his last words before he entered the portal. He appeared in the Nether Realm then in front of him stood the Oni known as Drahim.
