Chapter 11
Arrows where flying, swords where clashing… the war had started! The Edenians, Shinnok's army and the Netherealm oni collided their forces in a three way war! Kitana chased after Mileena, adamant in killing her once and for all Kano faced Sonya and Johnny Cage, though he always seemed to have some help from his forces. Jax and Stryker where having a hard time contending with Kintaro, he was much stronger the Jax remembered those years ago when they last faced off. Kenshi and Cyrax helped the Edenians in killing off the oni with Rain and Jade while Nightwolf and his tribe where in the middle of casting a ritual spell to help their allies.
Sindel fell to the floor, Reiko laughed at her "Is that all your majesty can muster? I am not impressed!" Sindel smiled, she then let out an ear piercing scream, temporarily stunning the general. Using this time, she kicked him in the face, but before she could continue attacking, Kintaro charged through that fight, running at Stryker,. Who managed to get out of the way of that attack, Stryker then punched Kintaro, but it didn't phase the huge mammoth general, Kintaro picked Stryker up and threw him at Jax. Jax then fell back onto the last troop Kano was using as a shield from Sonya and Cage. Kano fired his laser eye at Sonya, Cage tackled her, saving her getting blasted. The blast hit a solider who was about to blindside Kitana, who was in a struggle with her 'sister'. They both moved out the way, as Cyrax fired a grenade blowing up a small group of soldiers and oni who where fighting eachother, Cyrax then moved out of the way, as Kenshi used his powers to push some of his enemies of a cliff. Nightwolf's hatchet glew green, their spell had worked, this would make them and the Edenian army a little boost of strength and confidence in their battle. "Charge!" Nightwolf shouted, as soon as they moved, Jade ran through their ranks jumping then impaling an oni who tried to escape, she turned round to see a huge oni about to attack her, when a lightning bolt hit it. She looked to see Rain holding his arm up, he nodded to her before charging at his next victim.
Sektor laughed, he looked at Tayna and said "I will help you if you wish it… I warn you, if you try to flee, I will kill you…" Tanya nodded "Do not worry… I have no intention of running, not now… I will kill Jade for" Sektor cut her off "I care not for your pitiful rivalry… you will play your part" He released her, Tanya went to charge at Jade, but Sektor grabbed her "Wait until the time is right… there is no sense in throwing away a perfect opportunity…" Sektor may have sounded like he actually cared about helping her, but Tanya knew better, he only cared about fulfilling his objective… that damn cyborg… Tanya sighed in disgust, but decided to wait.
Kabal ran at Havik, attempting to slice him with his hook swords, only to get caught off guard by Mavado, who jump kicked him in the side. Kira tired to stab Kobra with her daggers again, but he caught both of them with his Kalli Sticks, throwing the sticks, with the blades in them away. He looked at her and said, "Now, let's see how you do without cheap tricks!" Running at her attempting to shoulder barge her. Dairou and Tremor just stood facing eachother, not making a move. Whilst everyone else was fighting, they had a stare off. Dairou bowed, Tremor seemed taken back by this, but bowed back. They both got into their respective stances, before finally attacking. Dairou was knocked back by the blow he received, even without causing earthquakes, this guy used shockwaves through out his body… if he was to win, he could not let his opponent touch him or cause an earthquake… he would need to be quick. .
Kai jumped in the air, throwing fireballs down upon Baphomet, who just blocked them, before swinging his arm to prevent Liu Kang from attacking him, Kung Lao teleported behind his gigantic foe, but got a knock fro Baphomet's shoulder for his efforts. Ermac fired an energy ball at Baphomet, who decided to fly up and dodge this attack, only to get caught by Scorpion who performed a teleport kick as he was rising, Sub Zero then his a sliding shoulder tackle before Baphomet hit the floor, knocking him back a few feet. Baphomet slowly stood up, laughing "Interesting, all of you should be proud to have gone n this long against me…" He spread his wings "But it ends now" He fired a beam attack from his mouth at the group, who just evaded it. Ermac looked to Scorpion "We have an idea to finish this… we shall need some time to prepare though" Scorpion nodded "Anything we can do?" he asked Ermac nodded "You will know what to do when the time comes, all of you will, just buy us some time!" Scorpion nodded, "C'mon guys!" Kung Lao shouted, making a charge once again with him comrades.
Chameleon attempted to pounce on Reptile, but the elusive ninja slid to the side and fired a forceball into his opponents' side. Chameleon was stunned for a little while, but recovered in time to dodge an acid spit from Reptile. Chameleon started to glow, this time stopping on yellow and started breathing fire, Reptile instinctively jumped to safety, so Chameleon changed colour again, this time to blue, and slid towards Reptile, Reptile dashed at him, both of them colliding with eachother, both of them shot back, both getting to their feet at the same time. Chameleon smiled, "Well, you seem to e doing better then I expected…" He glowed again, stopping on green. "Let's see how you do now!" Chameleon started mirroring every movement Reptile did, much to Reptile's frustration, this is when Reptile realised that Chameleon can only do what he knows his opponent can do, but Reptile still has a few tricks he has yet shown, with this realisation, Reptile ran forward in a ditch effort to end this apparent stalemate and kill his rival.
Seprion moved back, 'He has indeed grown stronger… damn him…' Seprion just dodged out of the way of Shang Tsung, who fired another volley of flaming skulls at him. Shang Tsung laughed "Oh, how I enjoy this… but I am afraid I must end this now" He shape-shifted into Shao Kahn. Seprion looked at the sorcerer and said "This is not good…" and put up his guard, just in time to block a shoulder tackle. Seprion jumped back, only to get hit by a rising shoulder tackle. Seprion back flipped to land on his feet. He looked at the sorcerer and said "You are not the only one with hidden techniques…" He raised his arm to the sky Shang Tsung looked up, to see a big ball of energy hovering above him. "How did I not see that?" Shang Tsung said out loud in disbelief as he transformed bck into his original form, Seprion then fired a smaller energy ball at the bigger one, causing it to explode into smaller energy balls, which rained down towards the sorcerer.
Reiko threw some shurikens at Sindel, who screamed, the vibrations in the air caused them to scatter away. Reiko grasped his head, "I have had enough of this!" He proclaimed his white eyes glew brighter he then shouted "Let me show you the power granted to me by a fallen god!" He then jumped into the air, and when he spread his arms out, he let out a huge shockwave, knocking everyone off their feet, even the likes of Kintaro and Cyrax couldn't keep their footing. Reiko fell to the floor, out of breath… he used all his energy in that attack. Many troops who where near him died, but Sindel was no ordinary fighter and survived this attack. Reiko walked over to the grounded Sindel, pulling out one shuriken and holding it up in the air, but before he could do anything, Bo Rai' Cho hit him from the side, causing Reiko to stumble. Everyone was getting to their feet, Reiko looked at the master and said "You are a fool for attracting my attention…" He then threw his shuriken at Bo Rai' Cho… it was a direct hit. Li Mei looked up just in time to see the final blow "Noooo!" Bo Rai' Cho fell to the floor. Li Mei got very angry at this man now, he killed the one man who did more for her then anyone in her life! He ran at him, throwing a fireball at him, which startled Reiko. Reiko tried to fight against this young woman, but she was relentless he just shouted "Enough!" and fled, leaving his army behind. Li Mei ran over to her master "Master… Master! Please get up!" Bo Rai' Cho coughed up blood "Li Mei… you have made me… proud… you are like a daughter to me" Li Mei started crying… the fighting around the two of them was once again becoming fierce, "Li Mei… you are now a fully trained warrior… you have yet to put a focus on this… find me former students… Liu Kang and Kung Lao… they will finalise everything… goodbye my dear…" Bo Rai' Cho breathed his last breath. Li Mei started to cry, but she realised she was still needed in her fight. She got up, carrying her masters weapon and attacked a group of solders who where about to attack Kenshi.
Sektor looked on, the past few minutes just made things so much better for him, one of the armies generals have retreated, one is dead, the queen is injured, he looked to Tanya and said "You may attack" Tanya ran down the mountain towards Jade, Sektor then looked at Rain and said "Soon, you will help me take over everything!" Locking a missile onto him, but waiting for the right time to fire.
------------------------------
Bo Rai Cho is dead… he may not have been a main character, but he was vital in the story, training Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Li Mei (maybe Kai too). Now he is dead… what does this mean for the good guys?
How will the black dragon face off against their enemies… how is Dairou going to even fight tremor… and when will he get to Darrius?
The next chapter shall be up soon, I promise!
