Chapter 7- Soul Survivor- Kane.
No… he got Dave! When I saw the look in John's eyes I knew I had to do something. I charged at Onaga, running horns first into his stomach. He dropped Cena, giving me enough time to pull him to safety… yet it was too late. Damn Shang Tsung's powers! I watched what remained of John's soul get sucked into Onaga's mouth, his hand reaching out for someone to grab it as the beast gulped down what remained of his soul. I tore me up inside. "John… Oh John" I cried as I held the now empty shell, I felt Taker's hand come on my shoulder as Onaga recovered from my spear. He stood up laughing, and patting his gut. "Oh wonderful. You have very tasty subject. Pity you aren't the same king I battled thousands of years ago!" he laughed. Onaga turned to Rob Van Dam who was next to Dave's body. "Oh. I smell the purity of you; the chi is strong in this one. Most appetizing!"
"ROB BAIL!" I yelled at him. He became too scared to move, he didn't want to leave Dave. That was when I saw her true colors. Shannon threw herself at Onaga, scratching and clawing at his face as hard as she could, the talons on her feet went at the already bleeding stomach of his, he tried to swat her away yet it was no good, she managed to dodge it just in time. Sara bolted herself, grabbing Rob and pulling him to safety. Yet Onaga soon grabbed the upper hand once more. He clasped his hands together swatting Shannon like a fly. Her roar of pain echoed in the valley as Onaga gave her the same faith as John and Batista. I remember her staring at me, reaching out for a hand. As her soul went into his mouth… Why can't I do anything!
I was frozen… unable to move. "KANE!" she cried out. As what remained of her life was taken before me… I let her die… just like that…
Taker clenched onto Sara looking away of what happened. Tears came down his eyes as he turned to me. "We need an idea, how do we stop him!" he demanded of me.
"I don't know, the more souls he consumes the stronger he gets. How can I combat that?" I growled back to him.
"You can take souls just as he can, take back John, Dave and Shannon from him!" Rob stated.
Our conversation didn't last long as Onaga started to charge. Taker shot to the air with Sara in his grasp, Rob went to one side as I went to the other. I thought for sure he would come after me first, but no… he didn't. After we all separated, he stopped and leaped into the air!
"SARA, MARK!" I screamed. Yet I heard their roars over my own voice. Onaga… the son of a bitch… He moved away as I watched Mark and Sara's bodies fall to the ground. I caught them before they landed… their eyes… so empty… and their scales were cold to the touch, as if they were ice.
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?" I cried aloud. "WHY DO YOU TAKE MY FRIENDS BEFORE TAKING ME YOU BASTARD!"
Onaga merely laughed at my pain. "Isn't it obvious. I enjoy seeing you suffer…" His eyes shot to Rob.
"ROB RUN! GO TO THE PORTAL! JUST GET THE HELL OUT!" I pleaded with him. Rob started to run, I stood up and was prepared to sacrifice myself to allow Van Dam to live. I let so many of my friends die… and I don't even know why. I have the power of two demonic sorcerers at my hands. I was told I am the reincarnation of the true Dragon King. Why do I feel so powerless?
I called on my sorcerer powers and blasted Onaga with all that I could… it didn't even scratch him. Rob tripped as he tried to get a running start to fly, only to be caught by the damn beast… I couldn't bear to look anymore, when I heard Rob yell. "FIGHT GLEN, YOU HAVE THE POWER TOO!" I knew it were his last words before he screamed.
Onaga turned to face me; it was he and I now. The bodies of my friends lined the battlefield as he looked at me licking his chops. "I cannot wait to see what you taste like!" he grinned. I noticed one thing though… the wounds inflicted on him. They didn't heal over yet. That was odd in my eyes. But now… now more than ever did I need to fight. He stared at the enigma marking on my stomach. "That… that is my amulet"
"You want it asshole, come and get it!" I called out to him. I felt the spikes of Quan Chi grow out of my wrist once more; it would give me at least some weapon against him. I charged, feeling I wouldn't make it out of here alive… But I ran head first at the son of a bitch who took the souls of my friends! I brought my fists down on his flesh, using the spikes to cut into his arms. They did little, if any damage to him. Onaga struck back as he sliced into my stomach with his claws, breaking my skin. But the strange thing was… I didn't bleed.
He licked his claws and was disappointed that there was no blood or flesh on them. "What armor are you donning?" he demanded of me.
I shook my head, I wasn't wearing anything on my upper body, and it was exposed to any attack. He tried again… again… nothing. He growled at me as he decided to make me suffer longer than any of my friends. He clawed at me in every direction, I managed to land a few punches of my own and make him bleed from the already open wounds on his stomach. Yet nothing more, I had no clue on how to kill him. I didn't know if I could even salvage the souls of my friends or those who he has taken. But I tried… As God as my witness, I used Shang Tsung's talent for good. When I came close to his wound. I stuck my hand into it. Covering it blood, focusing on a soul.
"CENA!" I called out; maybe they could still hear me? I felt nothing at first until I saw a ghostly hand grab onto my wrist. I kicked off Onaga's chest pulling whatever grabbed onto me. It was the soul of Cena! Strange thing was, he didn't go to his body… he went into my own!
Onaga held his wound, hissing at me. "What did you just do!" he growled. I could feel John… I felt him inside of my body… awkward of me to say I know. But if you knew about it… you wouldn't blame my choice of wording.
"I think I may have just discovered a way to save my friends from you" I whispered back…
