Chapter 5- The wasteland- Batista.
Death, destruction, fire and ruins were as far as the eye could see. No one walked the streets, and I didn't even see any bodies as it were. "It's like he sucked the whole person into them" Shannon was explaining as we flew, she saw first hand what Shinnok did to her loved ones, they were taken into his staff as their energy was charged it. "He then breathed in an essence, probably their souls… I couldn't stop him," she cried.
"It's ok, we're going to stop him. We just need a plan." Kane stated as we kept on flying. City after city was destroyed, nothing was left standing and one fowl bastard did this!
I saw a look in Kane's eyes. He was scared to death. I think Shinnok was more powerful than him. Even with Dragon Magic and the power of two demon sorcerers.
Sara saw something down below. "There's movement!" she called out. Quickly we dove to the city streets, only to see those damn ogres once more. They were just busting through anything and everything in search of food or something… or perhaps they were looking for Reptile and his sanctuary! I snapped then and there!
Roaring with anger I charged the damn things, bashing them through walls, tearing them apart with my bare hands. When one fell dead to the streets the others instantly came after it, eating its remains. Kane destroyed them with great ease. "This is getting us no where!" he growled. My ears could hear the sound of a vehicle coming right at us. I did one of those spinning stops like in the movie. The window rolled down, and before us was a young woman.
"Are you what Raiden calls the dragons?" she asked us.
Kane nodded his head. "Yeah, you are Sonja Blade if I am not mistaken"
She took her shades off. "Damn right, come on. I need to bring you to the others" she said. Sonja drove a big ass hummer, bigger than the ones on the road now a day. It looked very constricting too.
"We'll follow you from the air, led the way" Cena replied.
She shrugged as she rolled up her windows and started to speed away, we took to the skies following her over the rough roads. She turned into a cliff formation; we had to land once more to get there. But odd thing was, it looked like a mountain.
"There's a path, come on" Kane called as he walked right through the rock. We shrugged and followed. Inside was amazing; it reminded me of the Shokan realm, yet it also resembled that of a temple.
"Where have you been?" Raiden scolded us.
Kane shrugged. "And invitation would have been nice!"
Raiden rolled his eyes; we were standing with the Outworld task force. Liu Kang and Johnny Cage. Damn, all these guys are real! "You all know of what is going on, we need to work together to defeat Shinnok" he called out.
"Yeah would have been nice to have help with the others you know" Rob spat to him.
Everyone stared at us. "Others?" Kang questioned.
"Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Onaga, Shao Kahn the ones that were already 'defeated' by you" Cena stated.
"Shang Tsung is dead," snapped Johnny Cage. "I saw him get impaled personally."
Kane humored him by changing into the sorcerer. "Did I look this young when it happened? I don't think so," he said in Shang's voice. It was really creepy yet funny at the same time.
Kane changed back when everyone in the room became creeped out. "Sorry" he said.
Raiden nodded. "Shinnok is almost done devouring Earth Realm, I fear if he finds Shao Kahn, it is over"
"He's alive too!" Liu roared.
Raiden nodded as he crossed his arms to Kane. "Talk to the dragon King on how he brought Kahn here and made him into a wrestler!"
"Hey, whoa, our concern right now is Shinnok. Raiden you know damn well that Shao Kahn is protecting our friends, he's a changed being!" I spat back.
"You are harboring Shao Kahn in our realm! That's suicide!" Sonja growled. She turned to Raiden. "We shouldn't be working with them, they are too careless!"
"You know what then. Fine!" hissed Taker. "You weren't there to help us, why should we need your help now to save your sorry asses!"
Tension was at an all time high here. Raiden called for order. "I didn't bring you all here to fight, I came to unite the most powerful force in Earth Realm against Shinnok! You wish to fight your own battles, so be it. Your failure will only be guaranteed"
Man, Raiden sounded pissed.
Taker didn't give an answer to the statement. But Kane sighed. "We have to co-operate, if not we're all dead" Kane sighed.
"If you try and reform Shinnok, I'll kill you where you stand!" snapped Sonja. As they talked, I saw in the shadows a few people. They looked to be working on something mechanical. "JAX, CYRAX!" Sonja called out.
The two came out, Jax the one with the metal arms and Cyrax, a cyborgs or something came out of the shadows.
"Let's go" Sonja called out leading the charge.
Sara and Shannon looked to one another. "Who made her boss?" Sara asked.
Sonja stopped and glared at Sara. "Don't try and question me little girls," she hissed.
Ooo, something tells me you don't call the Deadman's wife that. Not a feisty young dragon.
Nonetheless, Sonja will see soon enough. Just how powerful these girls are.
