MK : The Great Escape
Scorpion then grabbed his mask to reveal a skull. Both Bi-Han and Smoke were shocked by what they saw. Suddenly the skull burst into flames. It was the last thing Bi-Han saw.
Sub-zero was still keeping a look out when he heard the guards yell when they saw there frozen friends.
"What the hell? Quick, tell the Grandmaster about this!" One of the guards said
"Shit." Sub-zero said if they tell grandmaster about it, It will be all over.
"Smoke we need to go." Sub-zero said and quickly headed toward smoke.
"Smoke come on." He tried to snap Smoke out of his trance-like state. He eyes were glowing bright white and they were blank as if there was nothing there.
"Smoke please snap out of it."
"Whose go there?"
Sub-zero turn around to see the guards had entered the cemetery. Sub-zero had feared this would happen. He could take them on but one might escape and tell the others.
What should I do? Sub-zero though
In the dark surrounded Smoke, he only felt coldness and it none like his friend sub-zero or his brother had ever made. No, it was like all negative energy surrounds him to a never ending void.
Hey, how are you doing?
Smoke looked around to see were had that voice came from. To see if there anyone or anything here in this dark void.
"Who's there?" He said to the voice. It sounded so familiar to, but not as well.
My have you grown so much. You look so much older then before.
Smoke was getting annoyed "show your self!"
Nah, don't feel like it. But you look like you need some. And so does your friend.
Then suddenly Smoke sensed Sub-zero's fear as the guards come toward them.
Better hurry.
Then a bright light blinded Smoke as it become brighter. He finally snapped out of the trace.
Smoke quickly grabbed Sub-zero who was about to ice ball the guards. Smoke used his smoke away move to once again turning into smoke and vapor.
"Hey where did they go?"
The Smoke traveled back to the dorms before Sub-zero and Smoke land hard on the ground.
Sub-zero quickly got up to see where he was. He looked around then saw smoke on the ground unconscious.
"Hang in there Smoke."
Back at sub-zero room
Smoke was still unconscious which worry Sub-zero. He could take the infirmary but ever since the Lin Kuai is on high alert he afraid they will get caught.
"Damn it! I should have known this would happen. This is my all fault." Sub-zero said with shame and guilt.
"Don't be, Sub-zero."
Sub-zero turned around to see Smoke struggling to get out of bed.
"Smoke you should rest." Sub-zero said, afraid of smoke getting more hurt.
"I'm fine but we need to escape now."
Sub-zero was a little confused about what Smoke said
"What are you talking about? We are safe from the guard."
Smoke just shocked his head.
"Not for long. The guards are probably told the Grandmaster about the incident at the cemetery. He will surely send out his men after us, remember you froze that man at the gate and the only Lin kuai warrior who have the power of ice is you and Bi-Han." Smoke pointed out.
And he was right it wouldn't take a genius to figure that out.
"Smoke I know you are right, but you are in no condition to leave."
"I can mangen."
Sub-zero was still worry about his friend not knowing what to do. If they stay here they were more likely to get caught. If they leave Smoke might get more hurt then is or may worse he might die. Sub-zero had few choices.
"Smoke, are you sure you can walk?"
"I'm well a enough to do that" Smoke joked "but I probably won't be able to use my power for a while
Sub-zero nodded, He went to the closet to grab their bags.
Smoke grabbed some medicine out from the bag to help with his headache and his aching body. "That much better."
"I know away down mountain path that is less dangerous and no one knows about." Sub-zero said
"I hope you're right."
Outside their room they pay there finally respect to Bi-Han.
"Brother, I will revenge you death, Even if it took my life to do it." Kuai Liang swore
Smoke also pays his respects. "Rest in peace Bi-Han." He whisper
They both head toward the kitchen, where the secret passage was hidden.
"The kitchen?" Smoke said in confession
Sub-zero just rolls his eyes and sigh "Tomas, Do you know how many times had my brother have try to escape?"
Smoke thought about it Bi-Han always tried to escape from the Lin Kuei temple. Sometimes with Kuai Lang, but most of the time it was by himself.
Smoke only knows Bi-Han had escaped 5 times.
"5, if I recalled"
"Well actually it was more then 10 times."
Smoke was shunned that Bi-Han tried escape 10 time. Smoke was more amazed that Bi-Han wasn't killed earlier. Everyone knows that escape from the Lin Kuei was unforgettable and lend to your death.
"There was one escape plan that was almost successful. Unfortunately it was a fail but the path he use was never found. Sub-zero said
Smoke was still confessed "path?"
Sub-zero just rolled his eye again. He walked toward the ice box and pushes it away from the wall to reveal a small hole. It looks like only a child can fit.
"Uh, Sub-zero I think you need glasses because their no way in hell we can fit in there." Smoke pointed out
"Unless you use your "smoke away" to get us out"
Smoke wasn't sure if he should. Hell, he does know if he can do it. He still felt weak from the whole Bi-Han's memory thing. Even now Bi-Han's memory still flashed in his mind. He felt like he was will go insane if this keep up.
"I-I don't-"
Soon the alerted sound it off. Lights started to flashed all around the temple
"Shit" Smoke muttered
"Smoke, we need to go."
As must as he hate to Smoke didn't see much of a chose. He quickly grab Sub-Zero, soon both was turn into Smoke and vapor, Sparing into the dark deep hole.
"Grandmaster! We have searched the entire temple; there is no word where they went."
"Damn it!" Grandmaster shouted in outrage. Knowing it was Tundra who intruded the cemetery
"That little brat is more trouble then he worth. His emotions getting in the way, Blinding him of the ways of the Lin Kaui."
The commander nodded "gather a team and go search for him." The Grandmaster commanded
The commander nodded "yes sir, we just got report that Smoke is also with him."
Even the Grandmaster was surprised with this news. My ultimate weapon is gone? "Find Smoke and bring him back alive."
"Yes sir, How about Tundra?"
"Dead or alive, It doesn't matter just get Smoke back alive."
The commander was a little confessed knowing that both Smoke and Tundra are power and only wants to bring one back alive? Is really hard to believe, but he know that he shouldn't question the grandmaster.
"You're dismissed."
The commander nodded the vanished into thin air.
The Grandmaster then head toward the charmers where Cyrax is preparing the cyborg project.
"Cyrax, Is the project complete?"
"Almost, all I need is making sure there no flaws or bugs in the system." Cyrax as he put in a code.
"Good, you might have Third person joining you.
"What?" Cyrax said confused
"Tundra has seemed to escape."
Cyrax eyes widen in shocked. Why would he escape unless he found out about the cyborg project? Then he realizes something.
"Did Smoke lifted with him?"
"How did you know?" the Grandmaster asked
"It was a hunch. I mean Tomas always with Tundra and Sub-zero."
Grandmaster rubbed his chin "I guess your right."
"Grandmaster, if you don't mind me asking what will you do with smoke?"
The Grandmaster thought then he turn away started to walk out. "I have something special plan for him." He said as he left
Cyrax knew that doesn't sound good. He was left there to wonder what the Grandmaster meant.
"That old fool doesn't know what he dealing with."
A voice was heard threw the room, Cyrax turn around to see Sektor standing against the wall with his eyes closed.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Whole time. I used my camouflage devise." Sektor said as he pointed to the small devise on his wrist.
"figure." Cyrax whispered "what did you meant earlier? About the Grandmaster."
Sektor the open his eyes "the Grandmaster "Ultimate weapon" had gone with Tundra."
At first Cyrax was confused, what he means the ultimate weapon had gone with Tundra. Then it hit him.
"Smoke? Smoke is the weapon the Grandmaster been talking about?"
"Yes, I shouldn't be telling you this but… I have a bad feeling about this." Sektor said sweat from even the sound of his name.
"Sektor, you can be serious I mean I know Smoke is powerful and one of our top warrior in are clan. But I don't think he that dangerous then rest of us."
Sektor just shook his head "You don't understand, Cyrax. Smoke might seem harmless as us, but him nothing likes us."
Cyrax just laugh "Just like Bi-Han, but he isn't now." Cyrax said started to get back to his work.
"Sektor maybe you are little maybe you are little jealousy is getting to your head."
"Fine! Don't listen, but when that "thing" attack don't coming crying to me." Sektor lifted the room in frustration. How would he know what is harmless?
Cyrax was lifted to continue his worked with now some peace and quiet. But he was a little curious about what Sektor had said so he head toward the computer to check Smoke records and stats to see what the big fuss about. He noticed that Smoke been only on 8 mission the whole time he have been with the Lin Kuei. Not only that there really not much info about Smoke. Which was strange because older a warrior gets more stats or information to see who is the best or dangerous. But Smoke was a strange case because he barely has anything on it.
"I wonder what it means." Cyrax whisper
