MK: Demon of the Mist

ch.20 Smoke and Jade meet Khameleon

As the morning sun of Outworld slowly came out mountains. A beam of sunlight hit cross Jade face awaking her. She slowly opens her eye still feeling sleepy from sleep on a tree all night. "Not the best night sleep I ever have but…" Jade look to her right to see the grey assassin was still there. But he wasn't. Jade quickly got up and scan the area to see where he is. She even tries sense his present and still nothing.

"I knew it that I shouldn't had trust him." Jade scold to herself "I guess I should find a source of water." Jade keened and put her ear toward the ground and heard a faint sound of rushing water to the north of her.

Jade walked towards the source water, which was getting louder the more closer she got. Until finally she reach a beautiful waterfall.

Jade would have never of guess that sure thing still exist in Outworld. The water was clear as the sky or what she remembers of a clear sky. She put her hand in the water to see how it is.

It wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold. It was just right.

"Well, at least I can get a well deceive bath." Jade said to herself as she was about to take off her top.

*splash!*

Jade stopped before she could fully take off her top off.

What was that? Jade thought as she pulls her top back down.

"Come on out! I now sense your presence!

"Shh, can't I have 5 mins. With out you trying to kill me? A familiar voice said

A male figure came out of water and now clearly visible. "Smoke?!"

"Duh, who else." Smoke said almost in a sarcastic tone before he got nearly hit by a rock by Jade

"What the hell was that for?"

"For not tell me you where were!" Jade said as her face blush from the thought of nearly exposing her by to a male.

"I couldn't tell if it was you or not. And it not like I was going to stop a crazy assassin." Smoke replied before getting hit by a rock

"You-You freaking prev!"

Smoke rubbed his head "Schhh, Ok I'm sorry. J-Just stop throwing rocks at me, OK?" Smoke teleport out of the water and near his stuff. But he forgot that he was naked. Jade saw, and if she wasn't wearing her masked she would had nosebleeds right.

"opps, I forgot that you were here. Sorry I been with around guys most my life- wow that just sounded gay didn't?" Smoke said as he put on his pant. Jade was still in shock that she didn't notice that Smoke was finishing getting dress.

"Uh are you o.k.?" Smoke asked see Jade was still in a trance

Jade quickly shock it off "I-Im fine." As son as Jade said that, both she and Smoke sense a present they have never sense before.

As they try to pin point who or what this person is, Jade heard something in the tree. She throw her bang rang where the source of the present is which cause the figure grab her staff as figure seem to be heading toward her.

*slash*

The figure came down with a staff her own.

"What the-"Jade eye widen in surprised of much skill this warrior have. The mysterious person then spin kicks Jade and landed a few feet from. It then brought it staff close to her and transform if in a bang rang of her own and thought to Smoke.

Smoke quickly use his "Shake" and land on top of the figure but she quickly dodged it but fell in to the water.

"Hey! No fair." The figure yelled her voice so –what childish. To Jade it remind her of Reptile or Mileena little bit

"Now I'm all wet because of you two!" The figure said as she took off her cloak. Revealing her female masque, her skin was brownish- green and almost reptilian. Her hair was almost invisible only showing the outline of it.

"And I thought this is how you guys say hello!?"

"What?! You attack us first."

" No, I was just saying hello like you did." The colours women pointed at Jade. "I saw you swooped down on those scary looking guys."

Jade's eye widen of realize what she talking about. "Wait, you were there when I save that girl."

"Yep that little girl look so cute and opps! I should intrude myself. Don't worry I know a different way." *cough* "My name is Khameleon. With a "K". Khameleon said in a bellowing voice. As if she was mimicking Shoa Khan Voice. Khameleon look back a them but they gave her a question able look.

"What?! Your boss does it like that doesn't he?" She pointed at Jade

"You mean Shoa Khan?"

"Yes, that big meanie ruined my race". Khameleon spat in disgust, Smoke whisper in Jade ear while she did that "Hey isn't me or she reminds me of Reptile?" Jade nodded "yea she looks Reptilian too."

Khameleon notice them talking "Hey! Are you two listen!?" Khameleon yelled "Uh sorry continue"

"Thank you. I'm been watching you since you were a little kid." She pointed at Jade which was shocked "You what-"

"Shh, all question till the end. Anyway thank to you I learn how to walk, talk, and to fight. And find my mate."

"Your mate? You mean Reptile right?" Smoke asked Khameleon nodded "Yep, I been looking for him."

"So why haven't you talked to him?"

"I can't do that!" Khameleon shouted which surprised both Smoke and Jade.

"Uh why not?"

"That meanie Shoa Khan have him like some dog on a leashed, right?"

Jade shock her head "not really. He like everybody who obey him, fearing what he might do to him if he doesn't."

"Oh,well then uh…" Khameleon try to think what to say she started to blushed

"Then?" both Smoke and Jade asked

"Fine! I'm nervous to meet him! Ok?!"

Jade and Smoke sweat drop. How can she be nervous when she never met him? Jade and Smoke look at each other.

"Uh…Reptile would love to meet you." Jade said trying to cheer her up but Khameleon ignored her "What if he think I'm fat or ugly or worse that he doesn't think I'm a virgin?!" Khameleon said while grabbing her head because of all the negative thoughts she have at the same time.

"Uh I think at this point Reptile wouldn't care. I mean he love a girl with a personally." Jade said hoping to cheer her up. Khameleon look wiping the tear away from her eyes "really?"

"Yep, and trust me Reptile is not the one to judge people on there looks. Well a little, but he would love you." Khameleon eyes show at glimmer of hope. Jade must of cheer her very well because the next thing she and Smoke knew Khameleon was jumping up and down like a kid in candy store. "ohmygodIhopehecute hehe." She said really fast

"What you do?" Smoke whisper

"It a women thing." Jade smirked while Smoke rolled his eye

"Hey, I can help you get back if you want?"

"Sure, we are kind of lost." Jade said with little embarrass of asking her Khameleon nodded happily "O.K. follow me!" she said with excited as march off as if she leading a march. Smoke and just shrugged

"What a weird girl."
