Chapter 3: Living Forest: Sub-Zero vs. Hotaru

Announcer: The brutal battles of the tournament have been spectacular; you have probably never seen a more bloody battle, for after this match a most unexpected one, one that will be remembered, but first this match is a battle between Hotaru a Seidan Guard of Order, and Sub-Zero a Lin Kuei warrior from Earthrealm. This match is supposed to be more brutal then the last but I do not believe so.

In the Living Forest...

Sub-Zero is glaring at the Seidan, he is infuriated by there attack on his Lin Kuei Village just briefly before the tournament. "You Seidan Warrior's are all the same; you would do anything to maintain Order. WELL I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! In the name of the Lin Kuei I shall obliterate you." Sub-Zero said. "What Lin Kuei? It is to my understanding they were annihilated by the presence of Order."

Announcer: Fight!

Sub-Zero threw and ice grenade that sent Hotaru chilling through the air, but quickly Hotaru recuperated and sent a magma blast near Sub-Zero, knocking him clean in the air, as Sub-Zero was falling, Hotaru grabbed Sub's leg and threw him across the arena. Sub-Zero landed hard on his back, and just for a few moments he let Hotaru think that he was winning. As Hotaru approached Sub, he sent ice to the floor and made several huge icicles appear around Hotaru. After doing so he chucked several ice grenades in the center where Hotaru stood. This made a massive explosion turning the arena into a blizzard wasteland. In the middle where Hotaru stood was filled with fog from the greatly executed attack of Sub-Zero.

As the fog began to clear there stood a familiar figure "Hotaru". He was alive, but yet very badly scratched. "A worthy attempt at my life, yet unsuccessful Sub-Zero." Sub-Zero was completely shocked by his failure; his grenade blizzard did not seem to work. "Impossible, you should at least be frozen solid." Said Sub-Zero. "Well it didn't harm me much now did it?" said Hotaru. With much anger, Sub-Zero leapt for Hotaru with an infuriated punch, it missed badly then Hotaru slammed his elbow into Sub-Zero's back.

Announcer: Oooo that's gotta hurt!

Sub-Zero rose up slightly but was quickly beat down by Hotaru's foot, the armor hit hard on the same spot that the elbow connected. Sub-Zero did not scream in agony but nearly just took it. After a little bit of taking a beating, Sub-Zero decide to roll under Hotaru's legs and fire an ice blast, but Hotaru was one step ahead of him, and fired a magma blast sending Sub-Zero straight back. Then Hotaru picked Sub-Zero up and tossed him like a sack of nothing. And after so started kicking Sub-Zero brutily in the ribs. "And so the end of the final Lin Kuei." Said Hotaru with a smile on his face. Hotaru began to power up a gigantic magma blast that could destroy the entire arena.

Just as Hotaru was sending it down, Sub-Zero grabbed Hotaru's foot and froze it on contact. Then Hotaru threw the ball of magma, but Sub-Zero countered with an ice beam that froze the blast in midair. Then Sub-Zero circled around the frozen ice ball and shot another ice beam at Hotaru making sure he had froze everything but Hotaru's head.

Sub-Zero then approached Hotaru slowly, and then grabbed his shoulder and ripped off his arm. Then Sub-Zero went to the other shoulder and ripped of the other arm. He then dropped both the arms and pulled out his Kori Blade. Sub-Zero sliced Hotaru in half with it. And now Hotaru laid there in a pool of his own blood. And just as Sub walked away he spit on Hotaru's bloody corpse.

Announcer: Sub-Zero wins: FATALITY!

See what i mean, by the way I gave Sub-Zero some modivation, so I just wanted to point that out, the attack did not really happen in any game, but i just gave Sub-Zero a reason to beat the snot out of Hotaru, and he will kill the rest of the Seidan guard i think if that happpened.
