Mk: CH.12
Family trouble
At the Shoa Khan's plazas, in the dining hall where most of Shoa khan's warriors eat. Jade, Kitana, Mileena, Ermac, Scarlet, Reptile, and Rain were eating. Sheeva, Goro, Kintoro, and Baraka were also eating in far side of table.
Hardly any of the girls ate. Jade ate any because didn't like and something was on her mind. Kitana also didn't eat any of her food because of her jaws still hurt from the fight. Mileena really don't like eating in front of people, she poked her food out of bored. Scarlet look at her food as if didn't know what to do with it.
"You suppose to eat it."
Scarlet heard a voice and turn toward Ermac. Ermac know how Scarlet feel, being in this strange new world.
Scarlet Scratched her head tried to figure out what Ermac meant of what he said. Then she snapped her fingered as she has a idea. She grabs her raw stake then squeezes it like a sponge, pouring all the blood that in it into the plate. Everyone look at her to see what she was doing. Scarlet then place the now drain stake next to the plate full of blood and put her hand into the plate. The blood slowly climbs up to her arm making her skin blood red. Shortly after that her arm turn back to it normal color.
"So that her ability." Jade said to herself
Scarlet then drain stake and put it back on the plate and gave it to Ermac. Ermac sweat drop of what to do with it.
"Thanks, but we pretty full." Ermac said
Scarlet look at his plate with questionable look since Ermac only to couple bits out of it. Ermac put two stakes and gave it to Reptile who smiles.
"More for me!"
"Watching you eat make me lose my appetite." Rain said as he shoves his plate away. Jade and Kitana did the same. Mileena just kept staring at her plate
"Mileena, you can eat your food. We all know how ul-"Reptile said as he was irrupted by Rain and Ermac who had there hands over his mouth.
The last time someone called Mileena the "U" word was when the Mutant creature in the flesh pit had a delicious meal that day
Kitana covered her sister ears as if Reptile just said a bad word. Mileena gave him the death glare then got up and started to leave.
"I'll eat in my room." Mileena said before she lifted
"Uh…opps." Rain and Ermac slap Reptile head.
"Idiot." Ermac muttered under his breath
After that while from the little event in dining room Rain head toward his room. He share it with Reptile and Ermac.
Nice room you have here.
"Yea, Thanks." Rain said out loud since there where no one else in the room. "That reminds me, can I have my eye back?"
Sure.
Shortly his right eye sight returns. "What are you going to do now?" Rain ask
I don't know. I'll explore, find a plan to take back my son's crystal. Who knows, I'm might kill Shoa Khan while I'm at it.
"Heh, Good luck with that." Rain said sarcastically. He turned towards door, but stopped in his tracks when he saw Reptile and Ermac at the doorway.
Crap.
Rain and Juki thought
"uh… who were you talking to?" Ermac asked
"N-No! Don't be silly why I would ever do that heh." Rain said nervously know that they not buying it.
Give it up Rain before you embarrassed yourself.
"Juki?" Reptile, Rain and Ermac said at the same time. Reptile and Ermac look at Rain bewilder as he know Juki
"How you know about Juki?" they said in unison "How do I know? I asked you first."
Juki rolled her eyes oh brother, can you please stop that
The room fell silent.
Good. Now I have attention. Yes, it me Reptile and Ermac
"But where are you? It sounds like you are very close."
"Duh, I right here." Juki waved her hand out of Rain's belt
"Oh my elder god! Juki in Rain pants? Rain you pervert!" Reptile shouted Rain and Juki blushed from the comment while Ermac slapped his face.
"N-No! I'm in my bag." Juki then quickly got out of the bag
"Oh my God! You had a little girl in your pant?"
"Reptile you make me wonders how your races die." Juki shooked her head "now then, I guess I own you guys a exemption."
15 mins. Of exampling later
"So this is what you really like?" Ermac said
"Yes and no. I'm older then I look. It will take me while till my body gets original form I'm stuck like this."
"So want now?" Ermac asked
"Well, I could try to get back my son's crystal from Shoa Khan but then again I'm still weak."
"Maybe you should want till the end of the tournament." Everybody turn to Reptile. "I mean at the end of the tournament the winner must face Shoa Khan.
"Yea-no. There a few reason why can join."
"Why not?"
"One, is that I look like a freaking kid. And have you ever seen a kid in tournament?
"Does Ermac count?" Reptile asked. Ermac slapped him on the head.
"anyway, the other reason that I would like to stay hidden. It be easier for me."
"We under stand." Ermac said Rain agreed. Reptile nodded his head while he still rubbing it
Juki smile then she remembers something, she got her bag and took out three more crystal. One was sky blue, one was purplish pink, and the last one was blood red.
"How many do you have of those?" Rain asked
"These are the last ones. They belong to Kitana, Mileena, and Scarlet."
"How about Jade?" Reptile wonder
"I already gave her crystal. So did Noob and Scorpion ."
"Wow, you really get around."
Juki Smirked "Hehe, I seen thing that you would imagine." Juki got up and gave the three crystals to Reptile "And know a thing or two for apologizing to a woman." Reptile look at her weirdly of what she talking about, then it hit him.
"Mileena will kill me before I can say sorry."
"Oh come on she ain't that bad." Look at Ermac and Rain "Right?" Juki can see the nervous look in there face which cause to have a sweat drop.
Juki shooked it off then said "It easy I help you." Then she example what Reptile of what he have to do. After about five minutes Reptile nodded.
"O.K I think I can do it." Reptile soon lefted the room.
"Five buck says that he will come back with a broken bone." Rain said
"You're on."
"You guys are so immature." Juki said as she pull out a five. "Count me in."
Reptile soon was in the hallway were Mileena room is. He was thinking what Mileena would do to him when she sees him. As soon as he turn to the corner he bumped into something.
"What the-"Reptile rubbed his head and look to see Smoke.
"Smoke? What are you d-"Smoke covered his mouth then pull Reptile to the nearest Room.
"What are you doing here?" Reptile asked again
"I'm looking for information. Do you know where Shoa Khan chamber is?"
"Down hall to you right. Not that I care for you but please be careful. The last I need is to kill you." Reptile said before he left Smoke alone in the dark room. It took him while to realize that wasn't alone. He turn around and see five Tarkatans waiting for him until Reptile was gone.
"Shit." That all can Smoke can say.
