Mk: Demon of the mist
Ch.24: The Raid
Sub-Zero left the bathroom hoping that Juki would be mentally o.k.
"So what did she want you to talk about?" Sub-zero wasn't really pat attention of what Smoke said until him repeat again.
"Uh…it was something personally that all."
"Oh."
Sub-Zero then head toward the window gets some fresh air. The air was cool in earthrealm. He then noticed Smoke was next to him. "Smoke, do you remember when you try to regain your memory?" Smoke nodded recalling the memory
*flashback*
15 year old Tomas was mediating in his room. While most boys were outside training or resting he decide to spend his free time concentrate to find his lost memory. Each time he does this he gets nothing. It almost seems to be block.
He usually kept meditating until he either get a headache or get frustrated to point he want to throw something at the wall.
*knock knock*
Smoke snapped out of meditation when he heard a knock on the door. He got up from the floor and head toward the door. When he opens the door he saw Bi-Han and Kuai Lang.
"Hi Bi-Han. Hi Kuai Lang. what are you doing here?" Tomas was a little surprised of why they are here, since no dare go near him most of the time.
"I just want hang out, that all." Bi-Han said with a piss off tone in his voice. He barge into Tomas's room. Tomas look at Kuai Lang and gave him a look why they really here. Kuai Laing Shrugged
"He just mad that Sektor beat him."
"That asshole cheat! And he knows it. I swear if I wasn't already in trouble I would have beaten him into the dirt he stands on!"
"Uh brother…"
"Then I smash him into it until there nothing left of him but dirt!"
"Brother!" Kuai Lang said trying to get his brother attention
"What?!"
"Dude your freezing my room." Bi-Han haven't noticed until Tomas has pointed out. The room was 10x time cooler then it was. And the window had frost growing out around the seal. Bi-Han blushed for letting his emotion get the best of him.
He sweat dropped "heh, my bad." Bi-Han laugh nervously
Tomas sigh and then snapped his finger. The Smoke that was already was in his room melting the ice that formed around the room. Both Bi-Han and Kuai Liang was impress
"Wow how did you do that? Kuai Liang asked with big eyes
"Kuai Liang! How many times did I have to tell you."
"Don't bother into other people business." Kuai Liang muttered with his head down in shame.
"It alright." Tomas tell Bi-Han then turn his attention to Kuai Liang "to answer your question. I really don't know it comes naturally."
"Oh."
They stood there in silent for a few moments not knowing what to say now. Then Kuai Liang broke the silent.
"Hey Tomas why don't hang with the other children?"
Tomas just shrugged "the Grandmaster doesn't really like me out of my room." Tomas said Kunai Liang gave a questionable look not understanding what he meant. "Let just say I gave a bad 'first impression'"
"You too?" Bi-Han spoke up "I punch him in face. He has me lock up for week with no food and barely any water." Tomas laughed then got up from his spot. "Well I'm kind impress that you weren't kill on the spot."
"If they did they would have lose awesome ice welder." Bi-Han said proudly. Tomas and Kuai Liang just rolled there eyes.
"I'm also not a people person." Tomas added
"But you talk to us." Kuai Liang pointed out with a huffed "Not like I had a choice. You two were yelling outside my door."
"Whatever." Bi-Han said who is still obviously pissed off about the fight. That when he noticed the mediation mat on the floor. "Were you meditating or something?" he asked
Tomas nodded "yea, Hydro said it was a great way to clear my mind. And help figure out my past."
"You past?" Kunai Liang asked seem to be a little confessed of what Tomas was saying.
"Yes, when the grandmaster found me I couldn't remember anything." Tomas then look at his meditation mat with sadden look on his face "Even now I still can't. It like mind blocks it or something."
Kunai Liang then got up then walked towards Tomas to put his hand on his shoulder and smile. "Don't worry I will help you find I will help you find your memory. Also Bi-Han will help." Kunai Liang turns to his bother "right Bi-Han?"
"What why you dragging me into this?" Bi-Han asked a little annoyed that his younger brother would call him out like that. But out of the kindness of his heart he agreed "Fine, I help only because you two are lost without me." He said with a smirk
"Hey!" Tomas and Kunai Liang shouted then they all laughed. Until Bi-Han and Kunai Liang heard there name being called.
"Uh oh, we got to go. See later Tomas." Both Bi-Han and Kuai Liang waved lifted. Tomas waved back to his friends.
*end of flashback*
As Smoke thought on the memory when he heard the bathroom door open. " I found them there in a cave some where in outworld I say in the northeast Mountains." Juki said as she was created Small object
"This will help you located them." Juki said she gave it to Smoke "can you simple just teleport us there?"
"Nope, I can teleport you near them. My power can go so far." Juki then turn to Kabal
"Kabal I have one more favor to ask you." Kabal crooked his head side way wondering what this brat wants now. Juki growled angrily little as he heard want he said in his mind
"Can you insist Sub-Zero and Smoke to help the earthrealmers?" she said through her teeth.
"You're kidding right? I work for the other team. Who care what happen to the earthrealmers!"
Juki smirked "But don't you want to pay back want Shoa Khan did to you? Not only that but I do believe the only reason the Black dragon kept you live is because that you the smart one of the group. Am I'm right?"
Kabal didn't say anything knowing that she was right. And to be honest he would love to get his hands on Kano but since he probably got Shoa Khan and the whole entire Black Dragon on his side. Kabal wouldn't stand a chance.
"Fine." Kabal muttered "Just make the damn portal and let get this over this." Knowing there no way around it.
'Beaten by damn brat.'
Juki heard this which pissed her off "*hpm* I'm older then you for one thing." She out of no where "and second…" Juki then grabbed Kabal shirt to pull him down towards her level of eye contact. Then she flicked him causing him to fly at the wall of the other side of the room which causes a dent in it.
Everybody stared at her eye widen. Even Juki was in little shocked as she was at her hand. "Hehe I guess my strength increase a little." Juki laugh nervously.
Rain stunned how she was able to do that. That and she said 'a little?' that was like Goro strength right there.
"Opps. Maybe guys should be going."
"B-But you j-just-"
"Save earthrealmers now asked question later!" Juki said she pushed Smoke and Sub-zero into the portal. "Hydro, take Kabal with you and help them out will you?"
"Yes." Hydro nodded as he picks up Kabal and walked toward the portal. As the portal close Juki just sigh in relief glad she didn't have answer any unwanted question.
Somewhere in the northeast Mountains. Hydro, Sub-zero, Smoke and Kabal (who have gain consciousness) walked up the mountain path hoping there were going the right way.
"Do you guys know where were going?" Kabal asked as it felt like they have been wondering around for hours.
"My reading say were going the right way. Also my readings say a large group to the south from where we are heading.
"That must be Shoa Khan's army. Will never make in time!"
"Not if we slow them down." Sub-Zero then took out his harmony heart. "Hydro and I will slow them down. Smoke and Kabal you guys have to get to them first. We'll slow them down as much as we can." Smoke and Hydro nodded while Kabal just shrugged. Probably not caring what going on at this point.
Sub-zero then created a portal "hopefully I'll tell portal us near them." Sub-zero as he and Hydro head toward the portal leaving Smoke and Kabal behind.
"Well I'm glad that I lost some dead weight." Smoke glare at Kabal and his comment
"Hey don't give me that look. I can only carry one of you guys at a time." Kabal stated. Smoke gave a questionable look before he could ask Kabal said "Get on my back." Smoke stare at eye widen "What?"
"You heard me get on my back. We don't have time argue."
Smoke just stared at him not likely the idea and seeing they really don't have time to argue Smoke gave in. smoke they climb on Kabal's back "Wow, your lighter then I thought."
"Just shut up before I change my mind." Smoke muttered feeling a little embarrassed about this "O.K. Whatever. Keep all hand and feet inside the moving man."
"What?" Smoke asked. If Smoke could see the smirked on Kabal face he who be a little nervous right now as he felt Kabal shack very violently before speeding off.
Meanwhile on the other side of the mountain.
Tanya and Frost lead a small army of shoakan and Tarkatan up the mountain side. Sektor and Cyrax also followed.
"I still don't get why mustard and ketchup have to tag along?" Frost muttered wasn't thrilled having two robot or Cyborg tag along.
"There just back up if the armies have failed to kill the earthrealmers. Because you and I both know we don't stand a chance. Beside they will do all the dirt work." Tanya smirked while she was talking to frost. Sektor and Cyrax have there own talk.
"Have you heard from Hydro?" Cyrax said with little concern in his tone "no. my reading can't pick up anything. I tell my father and Kabal about this." Sektor then scan area "for now we keep your target on sight." Cyrax nodded agreement.
Sub-Zero and Hydro had shortly arrived near the army. Sub-zero was about to confront them before hydro stop him.
"Stop. Tarkatans can smell a mile away. And also Sektor and Cyrax can probably sense us before the Tarkatans can." Hydro pointed out "So what do we do?"
"They probably don't know that I change side. I will confront them. But first…"
Hydro then raised one of his hand to slowly a small water ball was form in his hand. "I created a little rain so when I give the single you freeze them." Sub-zero nodded.
"Stop! there someone coming toward us." Tanya yelled vas he saw humanoid figure heading toward them.
"Halt who go there?" she said as saw the figure coming closer to them.
"That is hydro." Sektor said as got in front of Tanya
"So have another one and didn't in form us?" Frost stated not trusting this third Cyborg
"We order him to find Sub-zero." Sektor them turn his attention to Hydro "what happen to him?"
"I was able to located Sub-zero in southern mountain. We engage in battle but he was able to subdue me." Hydro said trying speaking with no emotion. Hoping to fool Sektor and Cyrax.
"Very well. Come with us and help us with the raid. Then report back to Lin Kaui to be disable." Sektor said coldly
Hydro nodded. Sub-Zero over heard this which a little shocked see how little the Lin Kaui care for there people.
Were basely like toys to them, to use and to be throw way once done. Sub-zero thought it took every ounce of will power not let his emotions get to him.
"Come on! I want to get this mission over with." Frost muttered as she walks off. Tanya and other follow. Hydro was about to follow when Cyrax stop him. Sektor noticed and stop as well.
"Cyrax?" Hydro asked what the problem
"I have scanned your program. Some seem…off."
"What do you mean?"
"Open your dash board. I will reboot your system." Cyrax reach out his hands before he can reach it hydro tagged Cyrax to the ground.
"Hydro! What the mean of this?" Sektor said as he exam Hydro real quick. "You have been reprogrammed."
"No. I regain my humanity." Hydro then aims the water ball up to the air and shoot. Cause clouds to form above them and began to rain.
"What the hell?" Tanya and the whole army turn around to see who is doing that. She sees the blue Cyborg hand was still up so must be the possible cause.
"What is he doing?! Is trying to give us away?"
"He has been reprogrammed!" Sektor then turn to Cyrax "grab him." He orders. Cyrax teleported behind Hydro and grabbed him. "Hold him still while I reprogrammed his memory broad." Before Sektor could reprogrammed hydro. Hydro teleported to break free from Cyrax's grip.
"Sub-zero! Now!" Hydro yelled at Sub-zero got out of his hiding spot to in front of the smell army and the freeze the ground. Tanya and frost manage to dodge it but the army got frozen to the ground. Sub-zero then summon his Kori blade and slide down towards the disable army. Slicing everybody down. Some of them were able to escape but other was cut down by the legs or by the waist up.
"Shit, it ambush!" Tanya growled "Frost tells Ruby and begin the back up plan. I lead the rest up the mountain." Tanya then run past Sub-zero can react. Tanya swept him off his feet.
"The rest of you follow me." The remaining Tarkatan and Shokan follow Tanya up mountain. "Cyrax! Sektor! You deal with those!" Tanya said before she left the two Cyborgs to fight there former Lin Kaui comrades. Sub-zero regroups with hydro.
"You take Cyrax. I'll take Sektor." Hydro said as he forms a Kori blade of his own. Sub0-zero nodded
*fight!*
During the ambush Kabal and Smoke were speeding up the mountain as they (more like Kabal) can.
"Can you slow down?!" Smoke shouted trying to hang on to the speeding mask man.
"No can do. Be side were making good time." Kabal said before he tripped over a rock. Smoke fell off Kabal and flew a few feet away from him.
Smoke groaned 'well that could have gone better.' Smoke said to himself up. He then realize he was a few centimeter away from a fire. Smoke quickly back away from it but then he looks up and saw a group of people surrounding him.
"Shit." Smoke almost forgot that the earthrealmers didn't trust him or Sub-zero for being a former Lin Kunai. Smoke immediately recognized one of them.
"Uh Sonya Blade, right?" Smoke as he stand at the pissed off the police girl "shut up. What are you doing here?" Sonya hissed
"Sonya pleases." She went silent when heard Lord Rayden voice.
"If he was planning to kill us he would have been more sleath then that." Rayden stated Smoke just rolled his eyes as he was getting up. "Well if speed Gonzalez over there haven't trip over a damn rock." Smoke growled as he was dusting himself off. Then he glares at Kabal who was in an awkward position nobody have notice. Kabal until Smoke pointed him out.
"Kabal?" the policeman said as he walks toward him. "How did you get here?"
"Well striker, I wasn't teleported to Outworld by strange and surprisely strong little girl. To be force to help Mr. Smokey the bear and Frosty the snow man robot friend if that was you thinking."
"I wasn't?" Kabal just faceplam with a sweat drop.
"I was being sarcastic Striker." Kabal hissed Smoke over heard this
"wait, so you weren't working for the blackdragon?"
"Let's just say im a undercover cop."
"So that get up your wear is fake?" Smoke asked Kabal gave him stern "Unfortunately no, I told Shoa Khan tried to kill me. Kano found me and fix me up. Probably the only good thing he ever done."
Smoke would have never thought that Kabal was a double agent anyway. "Oh no. I almost forgot." Smoke said to himself. "Lord Raiden I come here to-
"Warn me about the raid." Raiden cut him off. Smoke with his I widen eye stared at Raiden debriefed.
"H-how did you know?"
Raiden then pointed to the forest below to see a clouds form over a small area.
"I figured the small clouds are cause by your friend. Lu kang. Sonya. Go with Smoke and help his friend." Lu kang and Sonya nodded to much of there dislike. Smoke also nodded
"Were coming Sub-Zero.
