Oil and Blood

Disclaimer: Do you really think I own Mortal Kombat?

The three ninjas and cyborgs sized up each other before they paired up with a challenger on the opposite side. Scorpion was fighting Cyrax, Sub-zero was fighting Smoke, and Reptile was fighting Sektor. Reptile tossed a power blast but Sektor was faster than he seemed dodging around the blast and laughing at his attempt. Reptile was pissed he turned invisible and started slashing the hell out of Sektor and each attack made the cyborg appear to be bleeding. As Sektor was getting slashed Cyrax was beating Scorpion without using his hands. Every attack Scorpion threw Cyrax's armor was able to endure the attack and each attack rebounded on him. "Damn you!" Scorpion yelled dodging a fire blast coming at him. "Got you!" Cyrax yelled before accelerating to Mach and proceeding to beating the hell out of Scorpion. Every blow tossed against him seemed to have crushing properties and soon Scorpion was starting to enter a daze. Meanwhile, all the freeze attacks of Sub-Zero seemed to have no effect on the former Lin Kuei. Smoke rebounded off a tree and threw a cloud of smog and he was unable to attack, defend, or run. Sub-Zero stumbled through the smoke looking for a passage to fresh air when suddenly a flying uppercut caught him and lifted him out of the smog and as he fell he saw Smoke trying to do the same attack again. When he came close going for a uppercut Sub-Zero summoned the purest form of his ice blast as possible and unleashed it right in the steel face of Smoke. As Smoke stood in the air trying to break his ice sarcophagus but he didn't have a chance in this life. Sub-Zero coated his arms with ice and soon was starting to dismember Smoke and he finished him with an uppercut that froze him on contact and he shattered against the ground on impact. As Sub-Zero gave regards to his former Lin Kuei partner he suddenly was struck in the center of his back with a relentless attack causing him to lose his bearings. As he turned he saw the oil that was pouring out of Smoke's corpse was trying to take a form and continue the fight.

"Stay Down!" Sub-Zero yelled getting ready for a round two with the cyborg or more like his conscience.

As the new substance formed and showed that it could use it's past Lin Kuei moves Sub-Zero knew this match was going to get bloody.

As Sektor flailed against the brutality he felt his temperature meter was reaching sky levels. When Reptile moved in for the finishing heart rip he was burned on contact with the red cyborg. Reptile held his hand and looked at the aura that was forming around Sektor and noticed that everything around him was getting disoriented with the heat coming off Sektor. His eyes flashed a warning red and every blow he landed on Reptile burnt through his armor and caused him to feel the melting substances. The force ball that Reptile had thrown did nothing against this new form of attack before he saw it himself. The blast was on target when it curled around the heat barrier that Sektor was forming and it floated around him at Reptile's expense. Sektor was now a defense-offense master, which was put to the test when Reptile jumped into the air and threw down an endless supply of force balls doing nothing but wearing the warrior out. As he landed he tried to regain his breath but he couldn't catch a single second of R&R before the burning grip of Sektor's hand was around Reptile's throat.

Scorpion was starting to fair better than when he began. His blows were now starting to put dents into Cyrax's armor to reveal that it was a coat of Pure Cyolcoid (Metal I made up) the hardest metal in all the realms. The net that he shot at Scorpion was nothing short of an attempt when he took out his blade and spun the blade in a circle gripping the net and tearing it apart. When the blows of Scorpion started taking effect Cyrax could do nothing. He tried to activate his copter mode and escape the assault but was pulled back down to the ground by Scorpion's trademark yell GET DOWN HERE! As Cyrax plummeted down to the ground he knew that his time was quickly approaching. As he hit the ground he attempted to enter a fighting stance but he was defenseless without his armor. As he fell to a knee he was finished when Scorpion took the spear blade and cut through Cyrax in a single second causing the body a delayed motion of death. Scorpion turned and saw his companions fighting enhanced versions of their opponents when he slowly turned around and saw the cyborg Cyrax staring with stone cold eyes at him. He tried to rush his attack but every hit was blocked and soon Cyrax was relentless with catching Scorpions high kick and tossing him against the tree having his frame wrap around it.

The three ninjas limped to the middle of the battlefield and saw that every attack they had was useless against the offense and defense of the cyborgs. "Looks like this is gonna be a killer of a battle." Sub-Zero spoke clutching his side and looking at the quick approaching cyborgs…
