Mortal Kombat demon of the mist:
Ch.23 A shadowy talk
Noob didn't know what to do know. At first he was thinking of finding his yellow wraith "friend". Not wanting to get in trouble. It true he didn't like Quan chi either. If he has a choice he would have kill Quan Chi the moment that he have resurrected him. But there where someone else that he have deep fear toward Shinnok.
Shinnok is the most powerful being in the neitherealm well what Noob had heard. Sareena once told him that Scorpion once challenge Shinnok after the first Mortal Kombat tournament. He barely laid a scratch on him. Noob was kind of surpassed that Scorpion is still "alive" after that stunt. Maybe after the tournament Shinnok would get rid of Scorpion or maybe him too. Feeling of being used ever since he was reborn he always way felt that way.
"Hey."
Noob look up forgetting that he wasn't alone. That he was in a room full of ninjas plus a kid, Cyborg, and a mask man who not a ninja. One of the ninja who been teleported in by Juki was Sub-zero he believe that was his name
For some reason, that name have bothered him. Not only have that but the outfit had a familiar appearance that have his soul screaming inside of him. But he can't quite figure it out.
Noob gave him a cold glare trying not to show any sign of emotion. "What do you want earthrealm?"
Sub-zero gave a cold stare back not liking Noob tone "Where Scorpion?" He flat out said
"How in the hell would I know, And even if I did know why would I tell you?" Noob said as he was getting up from his spot to match sub-zero height. Both eyes pierce each other almost reading each other minds.
"If you are too eager to fight him, Might as well say 'kill me now' just to save him the trouble." Sub-zero clenches his fist show a light blue glow. Ready to freeze this black ninja.
"Why may I ask do you seek where Scorpion is? At Ieast I deceiver an explanation for wasting my time." Noob stated in bother tone.
Sub-Zero tries his best to keep his cool or what left of it. Sometime hate how his emotions get in his way of thinking. "to revenge my brother." That when he heard Noob cold laugh
"That all? Well, your brother probably was a foolish man going against Scorpion."
Sub-zero then lost it. He immediately grab Noob shirt and pull back his fist ready to punch this man into pulp. Everyone in the room turn there attention to the two engaged ninjas.
Noob did nothing but unfold his arms. "How foolish." Then Noob snapped his fingers. At first Sub-zero was confess what Noob just did. Then he felt a tap on his right shoulder. He turns his head to see who tapped him and the next thing he knew a punch was deliver to his face.
Sub-zero fell to the ground; still confess who have done that. He looks up to see two Noobs. At first he thought his sight was playing tricks on him but it wasn't.
"I was saving him when I have to fight any of you guys but I guess the cat is out bag. This is saibot." Noob pointed to saibot. Saibot look exactly like Noob but more dark and oily looking. "It would be bothered to fight you now." Noob said as he fuses back with Saibot. Then he turns to Juki and bows his head in respect.
"Thank you for healing me." He stated
"Uh… Sure no problem." She steeply said Smoke gave her wide eye look. Noob then created portal. "As much I want to stay, I don't really like a crowed." Then he turns toward Sub-zero again.
"I hope when you find Scorpion you won't regret it." With that Noob left.
"Well at least that over." Rain sighs happy that the two ninjas didn't fight in an already cramped environment.
Smoke helped sub-zero up. He too was also glad that he didn't fight. Smoke turn to Juki, "What did he mean that you healed him?"
"What do you think?" Juki reply with no elations in her tone "I healed him and Scorpion what else?"
"You what?!" Sub-zero said enrage "why didn't do you tell me he was here?!"
"So you run off with god no where. And in no conditions to fight. Noob was right. You be run into your own death."
Sub-zero was about to said something before Smoke put his hand on Sub-zero's shoulder. "She right Sub-zero your in condition to fight." Sub-zero sigh knowing there were right.
"So what do you suggest we do?"
"Well first let me heal you up. Then…" Juki pointed at Hydro's body "we wait for Hydro to re-boot."
During the take with Sub-zero and Juki, Ermac was wondering what shell he does next. He tried to meditate but it was kind of hard to do since a girl keep stair. At first Ermac tried to ignore it but it was getting harder to.
"Do you mind?" Ermac said in anonymous. Skarlet wrote quickly on her notepad and gave it to Ermac. It said "Yes?"
At first Ermac thought she was joking that he realizes she probably wasn't sure how to answer his question.
"Never mind." Ermac then turn to Reptile who looks like he has his own troubles. Ever since Khameleon got her she been tell him the rule of engage wading and she want him to have sex right now. Reptile blushes from the thought, as much as he want to save his race he first have to deal with Shoa Khan found out there another saurian running around he surely get rid of her.
"We are going to the soul chambers. To get recharges. Tell us if any thing happens." Ermac as he stand walk toward the door. Reptile was about say something but Skarlet beat him to it. Skarlet grabbed Ermac arm like a child doesn't want his parent to leave.
"I think she want to go with you." Reptile pointed out. Ermac just rolled his eyes from the obvious. That really the reason why he wanted to leave. Just so he can get some distance from her.
"Can you please let go of me?" Ermac said but Skarlet only gurgled , Ermac think she probably wasn't getting the message. Ermac sigh and us his telekinetic power to force Skarlet to let go. And then calmly left the room.
Skarlet was surprised and sadden of Ermac leaving. She quickly wrote on her note pod. Then she held it in front of Reptile to read.
Where is he go
"Oh, probably in the soul chamber but he-"Before Reptile could finish Skarlet transform herself into a liquid state and quickly went through the door. Reptile stares where Skarlet once stood.
"I wonder if I could do that." Khameleon wonders
"At least it less crowded here." Rain muttered as he returns to himself
*cough* uh Juki isn't?" Juki turn her attention to Kabal who seem like he finished with hydro.
"You finish? Wow I thought it would take you longer then that." Kabal was in debriefed because it took him like 5 hours.
"Anyway, start him up."
Kabal shook his head "fine but might not work."
"And why not?" Sub-zero said in growling tone
"Well, one Mr. Freeze the direction are in Japanese and Chinese so it was hard to read it. And also it not like I had the manual to go with him."
"Well we see what will happen." Juki Smirked "I was always a gambler anyway."
Kabal Shrugged and turn on the blue Cyborg. He made few beeping noise then his eye glowed blue. "Hydro?" Sub-zero asked but no reply. "Can he hear me?"
"He should." Kabal said
Sub-zero repeats what he said "Hydro can you hear me?"
"Yes, Sub-zero." Hydro reply, to both Sub-zero and Smoke relief. Sub-zero then help Hydro to sit up.
"I did…I did so many horrible things."
"You weren't you. They force you to because this." Smoke patted his friend back feeling sorry his friend.
"They're planning something big. They are planning on ambushing the earthrealmers tonight. The two Ninjas. I believe there name Tanya and Frost are leading the raid."
"That not good. If they get rid of all the earthrealmers that mean it would just be you two left. I don't think you two can stand a chance with Shoa Khan Army." Juki stated seeing that she probably have to move forward with her plan.
"Seeing that we probably have no choice. Sub-zero. Smoke. You guys have to stop them from destroying the other earthrealmers."
"I will join you guys." Hydro said as he slowly got up. "It the least that I can do for all that I have done."
Juki, Sub-zero, and Smoke nodded. "I will try to find the location of where they are." She took out her orb. Then she looks up to Sub-zero.
"Sub-zero can I have word with?"
Sub-zero then follow her into the bathroom. As Sub-zero enter Juki close the door and lock it. She then cast a spell to make sure Smoke and the others doesn't hear there conversation.
"So what do you want to talk about?"
I know that you know that I'm smoke's mother. I was hoping to keep this a secret until this whole thing was over." Juki said in a claim voice
"But don't you think you should tell him. I mean his whole life he have been dedicated to find you and his father." Sub-zero then gave her a wary look.
"Where is his father anyway?"
"Dead." Juki said with barely any emotion as if it hunted he when she said it "And I should be too."
"What?" Sub-zero asked in shocked. Before he could ask again Juki pulled down her neck which was covered by a collar. She took off her collar and reveals a massive scar around her neck. Sub-zero was puzzled and shocked by this.
"Those bastards slice my head off. My husband…"
Juki clench her fist. Sub-zero sense a murderous aura coming off her. It actually gave him the chill which was really hard to do.
"They tore him apart like bunch of savages fucking animal." She growled. The nightmare of that night keep plays in her through her head, as if her re-living it again.
"And then they took him. Tomas, our own son. Thinking if a scarifying him would summon an enenra. Those fool didn't know what they were doing." Juki shook her head; Sub-zero can see this shook her up. "They have gotten the wrong person." Tear started to fall. Feeling a little embarrassed in crying in front of the blue warrior
"It should have been me not him. I was the one who condemned his fate into this!" Juki broke down not able to control her emotion. She was kind of glad that she made a barrier so no one else can hear her cry. Juki kept crying until felt someone hugging her. She looks up and saw Sub-zero was hugging her. This surprised her, never in her world would she had thought a cold hearted ninja like him be hugging her
"Really don't like seeing a child cry. Have seen enough of that in my life time" Sub-zero said. Juki wiped her eyes and giggle
"I'm older then you. Calling me a child is insult." She sniffed
"Where all still children in the end, because we never stop growing up."
"Y-your right I never thought in a million years, a boy like you would be giving lecture." Juki Smile as a Single fell from her check "you remind so much of him."
"Who?" Sub-zero asked. Juki just shook her head
"It nothing let me search for the earthrealmers." Juki said
"Promise I won't tell him." Sub-zero said as he walks toward the door. Juki nodded and "thank you." Before Sub-zero left Juki grabbed Sub-zero's hand "I'm so glad my son found a friend like you." Sub-zero smile then left
