Jade looked around. "I think I know. Jade put her weapon down and ran off through the large hole in the wall.
"Where are you going?" Jax asked.
"I'll be right back. Don't worry." Jade said.
Jax shook his head. "Just like a woman to run out like that without a word and get me all riled up…just like a certain person I know…ouch!"
Kitana kicked Jax in the shin. "Careful, Jax, you're surrounded by women." Kitana said.
Sindel couldn't help but chuckle at her daughter's remark. Jax helped Kitana and Sindel up. Kitana looked over at Kung Lao and Liu Kang fighting. Their fight worried her greatly.
"Kitana?" Sindel asked.
Kitana turned to face her mother. She could tell she was worried.
"Kitana, Sindel, here!" Jade said.
Sindel and Kitana turned to the hole in the wall to see Jade standing outside of it holding Sindel's Kwan Dao and Kitana's fans in the other. She walked over and handed them their weapons.
"Here you go." Jade said.
"Thank you, Jade." Sindel said smiling.
"It was my pleasure." Jade said bowing.
"I don't mean to be rude here but do you think we can save the sappy moment for later? We still have a fight to win." Jax said. He ran off to help the others.
"You won't win this fight!" Liu Kang said as he kicked Kung Lao hard in the ribs, knocking him hard on the ground.
Kitana walked up to Kung Lao, more determined than ever to bring this battle to an end. She helped her friend up.
"Kitana, what are you doing?" Kung Lao asked.
"I want to help you. I can't bear to see Liu Kang like this." Kitana said.
"Yeah I don't blame you. Alright, let's beat him together." Kung Lao said.
Kitana and Kung Lao got into a fighting stance. Kitana opened her fans and together they charged at Liu Kang.
"Come, Jade, let us join the others." Sindel said.
"I'm right behind you my queen!" Jade said. She picked up her staff and followed behind Sindel.
Though fending off four warriors made it slightly challenging to the sorcerers, the earth warriors were still no match for their might. Both Shang Tsung and Quan Chi had the earth warriors high in the air ready to finish them off when Sindel and Jade kicked them from behind. The four warriors dropped to the ground. Sang Tsung thought to take both of their souls but remembered Shao Kahn's orders. Instead he threw them both into the others. Sindel used her sonic scream to distract the sorcerers while Jax and Sonya knocked them into Liu Kang. The dead corpse flew in between Shao Kahn and Raiden. The emperor attempted to hit the thunder god with his war hammer but instead hit Lui Kang who hit the wall hard. Several drops of blood spattered on the hammer and on the ground beside him. Kitana walked up to the corpse.
"Oh, Liu…I'm so sorry." The princess said. She knelt down and touched his lifeless face. "His blood is coagulated."
"That happens when you die." Kung Lao said walking over. He stopped five inches from Kitana.
Kitana nodded. "Yes, I know. What's wrong?"
"I'm just uncomfortable with the dead." Kung Lao said.
"I can understand that. Do you think he'll be alright?" Kitana asked.
Kung Lao shrugged. "Who knows?"
Suddenly Liu Kang opened his eyes. His eye colour was no longer green, but brown. "Ki…Kitana?" He said.
"Liu! Are you alright?" Kitana asked.
"I've been better." Lui Kang said. He took Kitana into his arms. Kitana closed her eyes and leaned her head against his shoulder. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too." Kitana said.
"Don't worry, everything's alright. We'll be reunited once again." Suddenly the fallen warrior's eyes glowed green as he grabbed a nearby broken dagger that was on the ground. He held it high above her back.
"Kitana look out!" Kung Lao said.
Kitana looked up at him and gasped as he brought the dagger down. Kung Lao quickly took off his hat and spun around and released it. Liu Kang saw it coming and backed away in time for it to narrowly miss him. The hat hit the dagger and sent it flying off into the distance. His hat came back and he caught it and placed it on his head.
Kitana gripped her fans tightly and upper cut Lui Kang with them. "I knew it was too good to be true."
Kung Lao ran up to her. "Are you ok?"
It's alright. Come on, let's finish what you started." Kung Lao held out his hand. Kitana took it as he helped her on her feet.
Kitana ran towards Liu Kang and aimed a high kick to his head but he blocked it and countered it with a punch which Kitana blocked. Both had a strong hold on each other and were unable to move. Kung Lao seized this moment to attack. He knocked his fellow monk over with a flying kick. Kitana spun around to slice him across the chest but he kicked one of her fans out of her hand. Kitana back flipped a few times and threw her remaining fan at Liu but he caught it. Kung Lao ran forward to try a head on attack but Liu hit him and Kitana with two fire balls and then spun around and threw the fan at Kitana. Sindel turned around to see the fan heading for her daughter's head.
"Kitana move!" Sindel screamed.
Kitana looked up but couldn't move because Liu's fire ball had not only stunned her, but it also knocked the wind out of her.
"No!" Sndel screamed in agony as she tried to run to her daughter's aid. She knew she wouldn't make it. 'Please, someone help her. I've lost my husband and I can't bear to lose her.' She thought.
Suddenly a purple blur emerged from the shadow and stood in front of Kitana. The ninja grunted in pain as the fan sliced into his chest cavity. Blood began to pour from the now open wound. The ninja knelt down in pain.
"Princess…" The ninja said.
"Rain!" Kitana gasped.
Rain began to slowly remove the fan from his chest. After a minute he had successfully pulled it out without causing too much damage. He dropped the fan weakly.
"Princess, I'm so sorry. I have betrayed you and our home." Rain said weakly.
"Rain…you mean?" Kitana asked.
"I don't remember everything but I remember the invasion and how Shao Kahn killed that woman…she was my mother!" Rain yelled.
Note: Coagulated, by the way, for anyone who wants to know means to become a solid mass. In this case, I'm referring to blood. This happens when it stops flowing because the heart stops beating.
