On the afternoon all the remaining Kombants return to the arena, the earthrealm so far having only 3 wins, they were worry of what powerful warrors they have to face.

Sub-zero, Smoke, and Khemelon were the only haven't fight yet. Sub-zero was worry for Smoke knowing he wasn't 100% well to fight and he had idea that Smoke knew it well too.

"You!" Shoa Khan Point at Khemelon was about to get behind of Smoke

"You'll fight Rain."

Rain was surprise by this not really exanting to fight all. He was more for show then anything.

"You not going to kill her. Right?" Reptile asked

"No, but I will beat her on what she did." Rain said as he got on the fighting stage. Khemelon shortly got on looking nervous not really like to be seen by people.

"You aren't still mad about trying to kill you right?"

Rain get into his fighting stance. "What do you think?"

"Right." Khemelon got into her fighting stance

~Fight!~

Khemelon was the first one to make a move. She charge at rain hope he would use his ability soon. Rain quickly teleported behind her and roundhouse kick her in the face. Khemelon quickly got back on her feet. She quickly turn her outfit to blue and form ice sword She jump high and dive down toward ready stab the sword into Rain 's head.

Rain quickly got out of the way. The ice sword when it stab the ground, the ground then froze over. Rain realize if he was a second late he would be frozen to death. Rain decide enough playing around.

He then threw a water ball at Khemelon who was about make another ice sword before the water trap in a giant water bubble. Khemelon quickly covered mouth as she felt like she was drowning. Rain command the bubble to come toward him. As the bubbe got near him, Rain punch khemelon in the face at full force which sending her fly to the for well. Everyone thought it was over and rain won. But, to everyone shock to see Khemelon was still standing and not only that but her outfit was now purple.

"Heh, It took a while but finally got your move down. Round 2?" Khemelon said with confidents

Rain growled furated with women. He decide it was time to end this. So he summon his power, the sky was started turn dark as cloud gather around the arena. Purple lighting then strike down on Khemelon.

Rain thought that she have gotten her. But then he realized that the lighting didn't hit her but the ground next to her

"What?!" Rain said with shocked

"T-That was close." Khemelon said as transform her weapon into daggars. She charge at Rain once more. Rain threw another water bubble at khemelon. She was able to dispel the bubble before it was able to hit her.

Khemelon propels herself forward with a blast of water, kicking rain down with both her feet. Rain try to get up but quickly pin him to the ground by Khemelon.

"Say surrender!" Khemelon yelled as she was trying her best to keep Rain power. Her outfit was changing in and out of purple. Rain saw this change and let lose one last powerful bolt lighting that strike them both.

"AAahhh!" Khemelon yelled in pain. Rain also growled in pain he was immune to most of the lighting but it was still painful. Rain quickly teleported away from Khemelon before form his last attack, a very powerful water attack. Before he excuted, he saw Khemelon had a finally attack of her own. The lighting attack she absorb from Rain's attack earlier was enough to give what she needed.

They both released there attack that cause a huge blast of arena. The smoke clear to relive that both of them were unconscious.

Shao Khan was unplease that his warrior lost but the same time the earthream didn't get a win either. Shao Khan order Reptile to take Rain back to infirmary. Raiden took Khemelon back as Sonya treated her wound.

After that battle Shao Khan decide that it is time to use his weapon.

"Skarlet you are next." Skarlet nodded and head up to the platform wait for her opponent to be chosen.

As much as she hated Shao Khan for keeping her lock up for most of her short life, she still have no choice but to follow him as she was bound by Shao Khan's magic. So if he die she might die too. Then again if she fails she might well be dead.

"Raiden, chose your next champion!" Shoa Khan Roar

Raiden turn back to his group. "Sub-zero, I think you better suited for this match."

Kung lao was about to reject but Sub-zero agree that made everyone surprised including Smoke shocked.

"I'll fight her, but on one condition."

Sub-zero turn to Shoa Khan and said "I demand to fight Scropion when I win."

Quan Chi was about to rejected to Sub-zero demands but Shao Khan Stop him before he could get the chance.

"And you shell, if you beat Skarlet."'

Sub-zero nodded and head up to the stage. Before he head up the Smoke stopped him.

"Are you sure about this?" Smoke asked

"We don't have much of a choice. Beside have a little confident in me."

Smoke stay silent as he watched Sub-zero step on platform. Skarlet got into her fighting stance and Sub-zero did the same.

' I have to win. I'm one step away from finding my brother killer.'

*FIGHT!*

In the stand watch the fights take place. Kasai and Kiteena watch from the far.

"Why am I here and not down there killing the earthrealmer?" Kiteena growled not like be bored to death and watch fight if she not a part of it

"I want you pay attention on each fight you see. You are clearly lacking any experience on fighting."

Kiteena scuffed Kasai off "You would think you program the skill on how fight."

"Yes and no. I gave you the skills but you have no control or experience. You be dead a long time ago if I haven't come to save your ass." Kasai said steerly "unless you want end up like you dead twin."

Kiteena look away remembering what Kitana and Mileena did to her sister. She will make them pay for that.

"Now watch and learn." Kasai said bring back Kieena attenction and watch the fight that was take place.

Skarlet was the first one to make their move. She threw two Kuna knife at Sub-zero. Sub-zero quickly got out his kunai to reflex the knives. He then saw Skarlet rushing toward him with her blade. Sub- zero quickly form an ice sword. They clash sword for good two minute. Realizing she wasn't getting anywhere, she back away from Sub-zero try to think would there a opening in his defeats.

Sub-zero took his time to regenerate his sword as it slowly was weakling during their clash. Sub-zero noted that Skarlet was fast almost as fast as Smoke. Years of training and fighting with both his brother and Smoke taught him that he wasn't fast warrior in the Lin Kuai, but he was slightly stronger in brute force.

` If I can bait her out, then I might be able to subdue her.'

Sub-zero then noticed that Skarlet pull out knife and aim at herself which shacked Sub-zero wonder what she plaining on doing she then stabbed herself in the stomach. She then turn in a paddle of blood.

Sub-zero got into a defeat wondering where would she pop up. He them saw a shadow looming over him, he look up to see Skarlet about to pounds down on him. He barely have enough time to block her attack. Her sword was able to gaze Sub-zero's arm. Blood out from his arm and landed on the ground.

Sub-zero took a few step back. He then notice that the blood was gone.

'Where did it went ?' sub- zero thought. But he didn't have time to think about it as Skarlet was charge at him again. Sub-zero quickly froze the ground hoping this will slow her down. Skarlet was able to dodge the attack by jump up into the air. She then teleported behind Sub-zero and stab him in the back.

Sub-zero stumble forward while trying to get Skarlet off him, he punch her in the face with his elbow. Causing her to let go of himself to see the blood that was coming off was heading toward Skarlet.

'She absorbing the blood?!' Sub-zero though he also noticed that her attack was getting stronger and faster.

' I need to stop her from get more blood.'

Sub-zero thought fast and quickly froze the entire arena frozen any that was on the platform. Avoiding the ice could freeze to arena if she not careful.

"Now you can't get any more blood."

Skarlet eyes narrow now try to think in what to the do now. Her blood boost will only last a few more minute. Also getting new blood would be harder to get. She decide to end this fight quickly Skarlet then threw two of her knives at Sub-zero. Sub-zero deflex both knives, but didn't noticed her charging at him.

Sub-zero only had a slip second to react. He grabbed her arms which shocked her. He froze both her arm making them useless. Sub-zero then knee Skarelet in the face. Stunned by the attack Skarlet try to break free from his grabs but couldn't break free. She then round house kick her. Sending her flying to the other side of the arena.

Skarlet try to get back up but she was too damage and there was no blood to heal her wound.

She clasped on the ground

Shoa khan growled as this his ultimate weapon lost. He have much planning to do after this.

"Sub-zero win." Shoa Khan declared then turn to Ermac. "Ermac take her to the chambers. I must fix her later." Ermac nodded and walk to the platform to grabbed Skarlet and carry her away.

Sub-zero turn to Shoa khan "I bested your warrior. Now, bring me Scorpion!"

"You do not make demand boy! But I'm a man from my word." Shoa Khan said then turn to Quan chi who was about to reject but one look from Shao khan said other wise. Quan Chi growled and snapped his finger.

Flames came up from no where before Scorpion came up.

"Quan Chi what the meaning of-" Scorpion stopped his yelling once he saw the man in front of him

"You!?" Scorpion hissed see the men he thought in front.

"My brother killer." Sub-zero said as air around him started to get cold. " Today I'll avenge my brother!"
