I'm not a martial artist, so obviously I have no idea what the fights are called... whether Lui-Kang can even do a double-cannon-kick or whathaveyou, so the descriptions will majorly suck. But keep in mind that I try and maybe I can find some names of the stances and kicks and all of that on the internet somewhere.... But for now you'll have to deal with my "He kicked him, swinging around..." descriptions of the fight sequence(s). Sorry in advance lol.


"I don't get it..."

Everyone was around Nightwolf, watching the computer screen. It was Lui- Kang that spoke. "The island is visible again, and there's a rip. Did we just overlook it last time?" he asked, turning to the others.

"It doesn't matter. The fact is, the rip is there. So go there and close it." Raiden exclaimed, once again losing patience. "Jax," he looked over at him. "You can go this time. Maybe you'll be able to find Sonya while the others close the rip and deal with whatever came out of it."

"Thanks, Raiden." ((I've been spelling it wrong. Sue me =P I'll try better this time lol))

"Well... let's go." Stryker started to walk towards the shipbay, the rest following close behind. Nightwolf stayed behind with Raiden in order to monitor things.

Within a matter of minutes they were again approaching the island. The red, glowing portal was still visible, and they had yet to see anything or anyone near it.

Lui-Kang and Kitana's jet reached the island first, and they hastily got out of it, running towards the portal as the others landed after them.

They were merely a few yards away from it, when suddenly a few dozen men jumped out, surrounding them with swords in hand. "Great...." Lui-Kang muttered.

"Where are they from? They're dressed strangely..." Kitana pointed out as the others joined them. They looked as if they were dressed out of the middle ages, several of them wearing tunics and capes with boots made out of fur.

"They must like to play dress up." Stryker commented, being the first to attack one of them. Soon they all started fighting, the small army trying to keep them away from the portal.

Jax hadn't joined them, however. He stood behind a tree after noticing the men. He wanted to help his friends... but he knew they could deal with it without him. First he wanted to find Sonya. He darted out of sight, and started walking in the forest.

"Someone needs to get to the portal!" Stryker called above the noise as he blocked another attack from the two men he was fighting.

"We're all a little busy..." Sub-zero commented.

"Kitana! Are you okay?" Lui-Kang asked. He noticed that the two men she was fighting had lured her some ways off from the group.

"I'm fine..." She replied, kicking one of them in the groin. She turned to the other one, but was apprehended suddenly by an arm reaching out to grab her from behind.

"Drop the pretty little fans, my sweet." Kitana heard the voice demand. She slowly dropped them to the ground.

"KITANA!!!" Lui-Kang quickly kicked the men he was fighting, and desperately tried to run to her.

"Nuh-uh-uh!" Lui-Kang stopped, helpless as he watched the women who was holding Kitana float a few inches off the ground. "Naughty, naughty! You don't want this pretty little thing to die, now, do you?"

Kitana looked slightly scared, but couldn't get her hands free. The woman who was holding her had quickly tied them behind her, and her mouth was covered by the woman's hand. She could barely even breathe, let alone cry out to the others. All the while the woman kept floating above them, piercing Lui-Kang with a look of disdain.

"Put your weapons down, or she dies!" The woman called to the defenders. They looked around at each other, and slowly stopped fighting, dropping any weapons they had been using. "Good... if you make one move, I'll destroy her."

"You guys..." Lui-Kang looked at his communicator as he heard NightWolf's voice. "What's going on?"

"Tell him that everything is fine." She noticed his reluctance. "DO IT!"

"Everything... everything is fine..." He spoke into his communicator. "Things are under control."

"Take them hostage, and then follow me." The woman called to her men, and they let themselves be tied up and lead through the forest following the woman who was still holding Kitana. She returned the ground, and walked in front of them, keeping a close eye on Kitana.

"Who the hell are you?" ((yes.... PG-13... I think that's PG-13 language. I hope so, if not call me on it.)) Stryker demanded of her. He wasn't very happy about being tied up and led through the forest by some freak who could float in the air.

"It doesn't matter." She retorted curtly, not turning around to speak. She just kept on walking, following a small path through the forest. Within a few moments she stopped and, waving her hand in front of her, seemed to create a large clearing out of thin air. She walked to the center and then stopped again, turning around to face them. Another portal appeared behind her, and she stepped back starting to go into it.

Suddenly, a large red beam of light shot out of nowhere and struck her in the face. "UGH!" She cried out, and in her confusion, she reflexively let go of Kitana to touch her face with her hands.

"Let her go Arandia!" Came a voice.

Sub-Zero, with Kitana out of harm's way, froze his captives' arms and broke free of the ropes that bound him. Lui-Kang and the others broke free as well, and soon all of her men were sprawled on the ground within no time at all. They all ran to Kitana to help her out of the tight ropes that bound her, not even noticing Edward, Cammy, Alexander, and Sonya near the edge of the clearing.
