Just my luck
As the new duo of Sub-Zero and Reptile continued their path to the fortress Reptile thought to himself why was he paired up with someone like this. " Stay still…" Sub-Zero whispered sticking his arm out to keep Reptile from going any further. " Why?" Reptile asked starting to look about. Suddenly Sub-Zero shot an ice blast deep into the treetops and it was a tarkatan spy from Baraka. "You Bastard!" It shrieked at the approaching Lin Kuei warrior. Without a second waste Sub-Zero had the tarkatan 3 feet in the air by his neck. As it looked down into the cold blue eyes it knew it was dead. Sub-Zero tossed him up and froze him slowing his descent to the ground and ripped the insides of the tarkatan out through a crack in the ice. "Impressive" Reptile called out looking down at the skin and ice only sculpture. "I'm just getting started" Sub-Zero replied smugly. As they continued down the path them suddenly Sub-Zero said, " What the hell is wrong with our shadows?" He yelled looking down only to see one giant shadow. "Run!" Reptile yelled as they broke into a run. As Sub-Zero turned around to see what they were running from he saw a large Cerberus like dog tearing apart from the shadow that they were once standing on and proceeded to tear everything into shreds as it continued it's pursuit. They had just made it to the end of the path when they saw two paths. "Let's split up and meet each other at the end of the paths." Sub-Zero shouted running off to the right.
(Reptile's pov) As he slowed down to a walk due to exhaustion he observed his surroundings to find that everything was getting misty. He continued to walk before he heard a twig snap. In almost an instant the force of a million fireballs hit him in his side crippling his speed severely. "Damnit who the hell is there!" Reptile yelled to the sky trying to limp to a safe area. No one answered with words but another fireball was in order as it hit Reptile so severely that he was pushed through the trees breaking them on impact. "Damnit I should have went to the right." Reptile thought as he stood up with his hand over one of his many wounds. Without a second waste he tried to leap into the air but the wound hindered him and his only means of assault was over before it began. He saw a dark figure looming in the shadows and spat acid at it hoping to hinder it long enough so he could engage it in a one-on-one fight. The moment it hit the figure it stumbled out the shadows and it was revealed to be Ermac. Before he could start to get in a lot of hits a protective barrier appeared and blew Reptile back against the rocks. He lay against the ground trying to catch his breath only to be picked up by Ermac's powers and tossed onto the ground again. Time was running out for Reptile as he was picked up yet again but wasn't slammed again. Instead Ermac hovered up towards him and whispered in his ear " We live for this battle but you won't live after this." and he almost killed him with a force slam but the cavalry had arrived. Before he could hit the ground he heard Ermac scream as they hit the ground. "Not again" Ermac spoke before being pulled into the shadows. He was knocked out into the opening for Reptile to see before he heard those words once again " GET OVER HERE!" The spear pierced through head of the being and Scorpion appeared and slammed him in circles before finally slinging him into the air and yanking down the dismembered head. "Scorpion you died!" Reptile spoke in shock. Scorpion looked at him and spoke," Reptile I need you to take me to Shang-Tsung." Scorpion spoke in a hellish voice. "Alright" Reptile spoke as he picked himself up and they started to proceed down the path.
(Sub-Zero's pov) He thought to himself as he slowed down to see where he was "how the hell did I end up here!" and without a second to brace the situation something leapt from the solid ground through a shadow and uppercut him five feet into the air. "THE HELL!" Sub-Zero spoke to see a cyborg looking down at him. He stood up and was about to connect with a running kick when an elbow blow was dealt to his back pushing him past the cyborg. He looked up and saw a landing smash coming at him and rolled out the way to see Red, Blue, and Yellow Cyborgs staring coldly at him. "So do I need to know the names of the things I'm about to kill?" Sub-Zero asked wiping the sweat from his forehead. The Yellow Cyborg engaged him in with fist attacks and they were fast and powerful and before Sub-Zero knew it the sidewinder had caught him and smashed him against a tree. As he slid down the Cyborg spoke " My name is LK-4D4 A.K.A Cyrax." The second Cyborg struck skillfully also as he smashed against Sub-Zero's blocks before breaking his block and smashing him against the ground with a throw. As Sub-Zero looked up into it's face-plate he heard it speak " My name is LK-9T9 aka Sektor." and before he could get up the final attacker attacked with full velocity. It kicked him ten feet into the air and threw a whirlwind triple kick into the stomach-causing Sub-Zero to split up blood. The final attacker raised Sub-Zero up by his neck and spoke " My name is LK-7T2 aka Smoke." As they crowded around him about to finish him two of the three were ripped back by two attackers. Reptile and Scorpion had come down here to get him when they saw them. Reptile's tongue latched around Cyrax's neck while Scorpion's spear stuck through Sektor's body holding these two in place as Sub-Zero quickly froze Smoke and did a double-plant kick. As Smoke flew back Cyrax had managed to turn around and hit Reptile with a energy net causing him to let go and Sektor spun around and shot a missile at point blank range causing Scorpions spear to come out of Sektor. The two teams were now ready and it was time for three on three wars for their very lives.
TBC…
Well I made it longer and I introduced the third but not last character Scorpion so I say this is a good chapter.
