"Raiden chose your warrior!" Shoa Khan Roar yelled in participation. Raiden didn't respond. He looks toward his earthrealm defenders.
"Johnny Cage, your fist." He said in a strong powerful voice.
Johnny grin widen "Alright!" Johnny said then turn to his fellow warrior "Fear not because Johnny cage save us all!" He shouts everybody just groaned as all have a face expiration of "we all doom" look. Sub-Zero and Smoke was resisting to face palm there self.
"And you toots, after this me and you dinner." Johnny said with a grin, Sonya rolled her eyes. While Johnny cage was show boating, Shoa Khan deciding who will fight as well. At first he thought of Scarlet but he doesn't want to reveal her just yet. He has other plans for her.
"Reptile, you shell goes first for your punishment."
Reptile silently sighs to himself
At least I fight a random earthrealm warrior and get my rematch with that human
Reptile nodded to his master jumped toward fighting stage. Shortly Johnny joins him.
"Hey lizard face! Remember me?"
"Yes, the warrior with the bad acting skills." Reptile hissed in a cold mocking tone.
"Bad acting skill, huh? I'll show you who bad! Johnny cage challenge
"Bring it." Reptile hissed ready his fight stance, Johnny did the some.
"READY?" Shoa Khan yelled
"FIGHT!"
Johnny cage moved first as he shadow kick toward Reptile. Reptile dodge it by back flipping, once he landed he quickly form a force ball but it was moving slowly toward Johnny.
Johnny just grin "Hehe, I can just simply dodge it." He said as Reptile turn invisible. He didn't notice until he sees Reptile disappear.
"Hey, where he g-" Johnny was soon cut off when felt someone grab his arms. Reptile then kicks Johnny toward the already near energy ball. Johnny tried to stop himself but it was too late. As he made contact with the energy ball it burst causing Johnny to go borne.
Reptile jump into as same time Johnny did. He grabs one of Johnny legs then body slam Johnny back to the ground. Reptile landed a few feet from Johnny.
Johnny slowly got up then noticed that his sunglasses were broken. "Those were my favorite pair!" Johnny yelled got back up and shadow kick Reptile so hard that flew few feet away. Johnny made his own green energy ball and throw toward Reptile dodge the first one, but didn't saw the second one. It hit square in the face. Johnny did another shadow kick more power then before. Reptile bounced off the wall of the force of the impact. Johnny saw his opportunity and punched Reptile in the groin. All male figures flinched slightly at the sight. Reptile grabs his crotch in pain and didn't see the upper cut Johnny was about make. The impact so strong that it force him back against the wall.
Reptile hiss though the pain, enrage Reptile speed toward. In a quick dash Reptile move swiftly behind Johnny and deliver elbow to the face. Johnny grabs his face in pain while Reptile prepare final move. Reptile jabs his claws into Johnny eye, then snaps his neck turning him around. As Johnny try to recover, Reptile kick him in the chest. Johnny can feel his ribs were broken as wind knock out of him, this time he did not get up.
"FINISH HIM!" Shoa Khan Roar tells Reptile to kill.
Reptile didn't know if should, since Johnny was protect his race. So he feels a little sympathy for him. Before he can decide Raiden inferred.
"Raiden, what are you doing?" Shoa Khan asked in anger and bored tone.
"You can clearly see he down there no need to kill him." Raiden said as he picks Johnny up. Shoa Khan just hissed in anger
"FINE. REPTILE WINS." Shoa Khan spat out.
Reptile walk back to where he was standing and act like nothing happen. Smoke and Sub-zero was shocked how Reptile handled himself. Sub-Zero was glad he didn't fight him when they first met. They could be equal match and Reptile had Ermac and who knew what he can do.
During the match Rain appear a few sec when it just as it started.
"Where have you been?" Shoa Khan said with out taking eye of the match.
"I-I have some trouble with some Tarkatans." Rain glare at Baraka because he the leader of his people and Baraka lack of control over them cost them a few of outworld fine warrior in the past. Shoa Khan nor Baraka pay no mind.
"That what you get for being late." Shoa Khan said barely look at Rain. Rain was about to object but one glare from Shoa Khan say other why. Rain bowed and walked were Reptile and Ermac were standing. As Shoa Khan announce the next fight between Lu Kang and Kitana.
"FIGHT!"
As Lu Kang and Kitana fight, Rain thought about the sword that Juki gave him.
Hey, Rain can you hear?
Rain heard the voice as he realize it Juki.
"Juki?" Rain said out loud. Loud enough for Reptile and Ermac to turn there heads toward his direction.
Shh, quiet! Talk with your mind.
O.k. sorry. Rain thought, he look back to see Ermac and Reptile to se if they were still looking. They have there attention back on the fight. Rain sigh to himself
Close one Rain
Anyway, I'm going to borrow one of your sights if you don't mind.
What?
One side of your eye will be blind temporally. If would be like you close one eyelid shut.
Fine. Just do it quick.
Instantly Rain's right eye sight went black. It felt weird to him it feet numb to him. To anyone notice Rain right change color to usually color to a grey colors.
Rain and Juki saw the fight play out. At first it looks like Kitana had the upper hand, levitating helplessly in the air give her opportunely to punch or kick Lu Kang. But then Lu Kang fire kick Kitana in the face nearly knocking her out. She tried throwing her fans which was dodged; Lu Kang the kangaroo kicked her and yelled out a weird cried. Kitana tried to recover but was to daze to forces. Lu Kang saw his chance and did a cartwheel that hit Kitana in the face then Lu Kang uppercut Kitana which made her go airborne. When she was about to land Lu Kang upper kick her in the chin which cause her to be knock out.
Shoa Khan didn't even bother of say "FINISH HER" due to fact that Shoalin don't kill.
"Lu Kang wins." Shoa Khan announces. The crowed roared.
"Carry her to infirmary." Shoa Khan said to Tanya. Tanya nodded then went on to platform and dragged Kitana out of arena.
The day tournament comes to an end. Before the closing there were two more fights one with Nightwolf and Sheeva. The other was with Mileena and Kenshi. Sheeva won but Mileena lost, too much of Shoa Khan degust.
"Raiden will continue this later." Shoa Khan said as he rose from his seat and left the arena. Soon the other on his side follows. Mean while Raiden think about what his next move.
"Lord Raiden?" Raiden turn to Sonia "What are we going to do with them?" Sonia quick glace at Sub-zero and Smoke. "I do not sense any evil in them and there quest doesn't seen to infer with are plan to save Earthrealm. So let them be." Sonia didn't like the sound of that as she didn't trust the two Lin Kuei warriors.
While Sonia thought of what Raiden said, sub-Zero and Smoke thought what there next plain
"We should split up. Maybe find something that gives us a clue about this scorpion guy." Sub-Zero said
"But where would we start? I mean this place is huge!" Smoke pointed out
"Well we have to start from somewhere." Smoke just nodded know this have to be bad idea but they need answer smoke then teleport to the right while Sub-Zero went to opposite
