Chapter 3: Shao Kahn
Kitana and her sisters are getting ready for the day. Kitana, however, was in her room for a long time.
Keiko: Kitana, dear! You've been in there all morning!
Mary: Come on out!
(Kitana comes out humming and sitting down to a mirror.)
Keiko: What's your deal?
(She lets her hair down and take off her face veil. Then she grabs a flower and bumps into Sindel.)
Kitana: Oh. Good morning, mother. (Puts flower in her hair) La-la-la. (swims away.)
Mary: She's got it bad.
Sindel: What? What does she got?
Keiko: Isn't it obvious, mommy? Kitana's in love!
Sindel: Kitana? In love?
Meanwhile...
Jade: Oh goodness. The Queen mustn't know. However, I don't know how this secret can last!
Kitana: (pucking a flower) He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me! giggle
Jade: Will you cut that out!
Kitana: I gotta see him agian! Tonight!
Jade: What! No!
Kitana: Johnny knows where he lives! I could get Mina to splash around to get his castle and...
Jade: Princess Kitana! You need to get your head out of the bubbles! Your home is down here! Let me explain!
Jade: The seaweed is always green on anyone side of this ocean!
You dream about going up there, but let me tell ya: it ain't pretty!
Kitana: But I want to see him! I must go up there!
Jade: Honey, if you go up there, you'll reget it every moment of it!
Up there they work all day! No fun or play!
Down here, its always FUN! Wheeeeee!
(As Jade and a band plays, Mina swims to Kitana and whispers something to her. They both leave.)
Jade: As you see, Kitana... Kitana? (Sees she gone) sigh Somebody got to nail her fins to the floor.
Fish: Jade!
Jade: Yes?
Fish: I bring a message from Queen Sindel. She wants to talk to you about Kitana.
Jade: Eppp! She knows!
At Sindel's Throne:
Sindel: Now, I wonder who could be the lucky merman? (Sees Jade) Oh Jade! Come in!
Jade: (thinks to herself) Okay. Just relax. And don't tell. (swims up the her.) Yes?
Sindel: Jade, I'm a little conserned about Kitana.
Jade: R-R-Really?
Sindel: Jade, I know your keeping something from me.
Jade: K-K-Keeping something?
Sindel: About Kitana? In love? Hmm?
Jade: I tried to stop her! She didn't listen! I told her humans were bad!
Sindel: Humans? What about them?
Jade: Did I say ''humans?'' Of course not!
(Sindel grabs her by the arm.)
At the cave:
Kitana: Mina? Why don't you tell me what you're about to show me?
Mina: Its a surpise! (Show her the statue of Liu Kang)
Kitana: Oh my gosh! This is the best! (swims up to it.) Why Liu Kang? Run away with you? This all so sudden. giggles
(spins around to see her mother in the shadows.) Mother!
Sindel: I've set certain rules in this sea. Is it true that you rescued a human from drowning?
Kitana: He would of died, mother!
Sindel: Would it matter! There all the same!
Kitana: You don't know him!
Sindel: I don't have to know him! He's like the other savages!
Kitana: Mother, I love him!
Sindel: Noo! Have you lost your mind! He's a human! You're a Edenian mermaid!
Kitana: I don't care.
Sindel: So help me Kitana, if this doesn't get to you, then so be it!
(Sindel blast fireballs on all of her stuff. Kitana's cries are ignored as she uses her staff as well. Then she faces the statue.)
Kitana: Mother! Nooooo!
Sindel: screams at a high velocity
(The statue is destroyed and Kitana cries. Sindel swims away.)
Jade: Kitana, I...
Kitana: Just go away.
(Jade and Mina leave. Suddenly, two eels come in.)
Quan Chi: Poor child.
Shang Tsung: Poor, sweet child.
Quan Chi: She has a very serious problem.
Shang Tsung: It only there was something we could do?
Quan Chi: But there is something.
Kitana: Who are you?
Shang Tsung: That doesn't matter. We can take you a person who has great powers.
Quan Chi: Just imagine you and your prince.
Both eels: Together. Forever.
Kitana: Who are you talking about?
Shang Tsung: Shao Kahn has great powers.
Kitana: The sea warlock? I couldn't... I... No! Leave me alone!
Quan Chi: Fine. But that was only a thought. (kicks the statue's face.)
(Kitana looks at the face.)
Kitana: Wait!
Both eels: Yyyyes?
Outside the cave:
Mina: Poor Kitana.
Jade: I never meant to tell! It was an addcident! (Sees Kitana with the eels.)
Mina: What the?
Jade: Kitana! What are doing with trash!
Kitana: I'm going to see Shao Kahn.
Jade: What! No Kitana! He's a demon! He'll...
Kitana: Why don't you tell my mother? You're good at that!
Jade: I... come on, Mina!
(So Jade and Mina follow Kitana to the sea warlock's lair. Kitana hesitates a bit.)
Both eels: This way.
(She enter the cave and notices the "Souls of the Unlucky". One grabs on to her. She pulls it off and hears a voice.)
Shao Kahn: Come in, child. We musn't stand in doorways. Its rude.
Kitana: H-h-hello.
Shao Kahn: Hi yourself. Now, to business. You're here because you have a thing for this human prince. I don't blame you. He is a catch! eats fish The only way to get what you seek, is to become a human.
Kitana: Can you do that?
Shao Khan: Why of course! Its what I do. Helping poor, Edenian merfolk just like yourself.
Shao Khan:
I admit that in the past I've been nasty.
They were kidding when they called me a ... witch.
But I repent, seen the light, and changed my ways!
Also I've been know to do a little magic!
And, honey please don't laugh. I use it all the time. (pulls out a fat lady and a skinny man.)
For the depressed, hopeless, and loser. (to the eels) Pathetic.
Poor miserable souls! In pain! Indeed!
This one a porky, and that one want to muscluar! Do I help them? snaps Yeah I do.
Poor miserable souls! Sad, but true!
They come knocking to my door
Crying " Shao Kahn! Help us!"
And do I help them? Yeah, I do.
Now this happened once or twice.
Someone couldn't pay the price.
And, I'm afraid I had to take they souls. (makes a whirlwind to them)
Sure, I had some complaints.
But I've been a saint.
TO THOSE MISERABLE SOULS!
Shao Kahn: Now here's the scoop, I'll make you potion that will turn you into a human for three days. Got it? Three days.
Kitana: Right. Three days.
Shao Kahn: Listen closely, when the sun sets on the third day, you must get the prince to fall in love with you. That means he has to kiss you. But, not just any kiss. The "Kiss of True Love".
(Jade and Mina walk in, quietly.)
Shao Kahn: If he kiss you before the sun sets ,on the third day, you will become human, permanently. However, if he doesn't, you turn back to a mermaid, and... you and your soul belong... to me!
Jade: No Kitana! eels cover her mouth
Shao Kahn: Deal or no deal?
Kitana: If I become human, I'll never see my mother or sisters again.
Shao Kahn: That's right. But you'll have you man. Hehe. Oh! One more thing. We haven't discussed payment yet. You can't expect this stuff for free!
Kitana: But I don't have any...
Shao Kahn: I'm not asking much. Just a little thing. What I want from you is... your voice.
Kitana: My voice?
Shao Kahn: That's right. No more talking, singing, zip!
Kitana: Without my voice, how will I...
Shao Kahn: You have your mother's looks, her pretty face, and don't forget the most important one... body language! Ha!
Shao Kahn: Men out there aren't fond of blabber!
They think women who gossips is a bore!
Come on! (throws out random potions)
Men aren't very enthusiastic with converstation! (the potions crash into his cauldron)
They're mostly interestic in looks!
Come on, you poor miserable soul!
Go ahead! May your choice!
I'm a very busy man and I haven't got all day!
It won't cost much! Just your voice!
You poor miserable soul!
Its sad, but true!
If you want cross the river, you got to pay the toll.
Go ahead and sign the scroll! (to eels.) Quan Chi and Shang Tsung! I got her boys!
This boss is on a rooooooooool!
This poor miserable soullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
(Kitana signs the scroll.)
Shao Kahn: Afuegus mayi getus shaloninmonkit!(the potion turns into a whirlwind)
Maysus howit maxumum strept throat belongit to me! (green hands come out)
Now sing!
Kitana: Ah-ah-ahh! Ahh-ah-a!
Shao Kahn: Keep singing!
(As Kitana sings some more, the hands comes down and reach inside her throat. The hand pulls out her voice.)
Kitana's voice: Ahhh-ahh-ah! Ah-ahh-ahhh! (the voice gets sucked in Shao's skull necklace)
Shao Kahn: Mwhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
(As Shao Kahn laughs, a bubble grabs Kitana, and starts to take her fins. Jade rushes to save her but when she grab her hand, the bubble got her and took her fins. Jade gets out quickly, but Kitana doesn't make it. The bubble releases her and Jade and Mina rush to swim her to the surface. Shao Kahn laughter is heard in the background. They all make it the surface and head straight to the shore.)
