"WHERE WILL WE GO NOW?" asked Smoke in a robotic voice.

"For a decade we have been serving lord after lord, clan after clan, and now we are free! We will start our own campaign, our own rule, our own dynasty!"

"HOW?"

"Using your nanotechnology to build an army."

"VERY WELL. I…" Smoke's head started to spark with electricity.

"I! I I I I I I I I I I I I I …….AH!"

Smoke's mask burst open, still cracking with energy. There revealed a face, a face hidden since the Lin Kuei marked him for automation. It was…Smoke. The real Smoke.

"I…am your slave no longer." Smoke disappeared into a cloud of, well, smoke.

Noob paused, then flung a shuriken into midair. It hit Smoke and he reappeared, bleeding from the weapon in his chest.

"You dare betray me! I trusted you! I offered you a seat in my kingdom, and you refuse. Well, you shall pay for such treason!"

In Noob's hand pulsed a purple light. Smoke recognized the attack, yanked out the knife in his chest, and desperately flung his spear at him. Luckily, the spear dove into Noob's chest. However, the purple light remained.

Noob flung it at Smoke with all his might.

The ball burst into purple flame once hitting the ninja in the chest. Smoke flew back wildly, bleeding form his burns. He still clutched the rope of the spear in his hands. As Smoke flew back from the fireball, Noob grabbed his chest as he was pulled along for a painful journey.

While Smoke was still hurling back, Noob smashed into the ground and was dragged along the rocky ground of the Netherrealm. As Smoke hit the ground, Noob grabbed the harpoon in his chest and yanked it out painfully. He then merged into the ground and flew up behind Smoke, who lay knocked out on the ground. Smoke woke up violently as he flew up, being pulled up by Noob. He let go of the rope, and flung a new spear at Noob, still carrying the projectile in his hand. This time, it hit Noob in the face, causing him to yell out in agony as Smoke pulled him down to deliver an elbow to his neck, a kick to his stomach, and a snap to his arm, all the while falling. Noob could barely see through all the pain, until he saw the ground as he smashed upon it; Smoke using him as a landing cushion, with the spear as a rein.

Smoke then watched as Noob's body slowly burned up, only to reappear somewhere else in the Netherrealm.
