Mk: demon of the mist

Ch.39 the truth burns

Smoke was shocked on what the creature had just said.

"How I make it easier." The demon then transformed into the young child again.

"It was much better when you didn't know. I was being nice on sparing you from the truth."

"Spare me from knowing I made deal with some smoke demon?" Smoke hissed angry at this vapor demon, it just laugh at Smoke.

"Well you half right. It wouldn't say you made a deal more like you giving me the wheel. I would of kept my control if those damn fool didn't interfere."

Smoke was confess on who was the demon was talking about then his eyes widen what it meant "You mean my parents."

"Those bastard ruin everything!" it hissed as the land change again to show Smoke and demon what happen next after the killing.

The demon stare at it massacre smiling with glee. It pounder to were to find it next victims as it about walk away it began to shriek in pain as it grabs its head.

Smoke saw this wondering what happening then he saw two beings of light fighting a cloud of darkness that seem to be the demon.

"Stop! I got him fair and square!"

"You will not use him for your own gain!" one of the being of light screamed

"We won't let you!" the other said

The two beings began to pull the Enenra away to void with them. As they did this part of the body began turn back to normal. Tomas was breathing hard and then he look up to see the three beings fighting. The Enenra knew it was losing grip so it pull one last trick. A purple beam shout from it hand and hit Tomas on the head.

"I'll take his memory with me." It hissed as one last form of rebellion against the two light beings. As the void was swallow them whole.

"It better that he lose them then to be control by you." One of the being said before being fully pull into the void. Now leaving the young Tomas alone in a daze, not knowing what just happen. He couldn't remember who he was at that moment. He didn't even know how he should feel in that moment.

"Tomas. Tomas Vrbada. That your name, don't forget." A whisper said in his head.

"Tomas. Tomas Vrbada." Tomas said to himself as walk off to the unknown

Smoke and the young child or Enenra saw this. The Enenra just rolled its eyes not at all amused by this.

"What a waste."

Smoke look up at the young child. "Well, since you are so keen on knowing the truth how about tell a little something about you so called mother. And what you are." The Enenra then transformed again this time in Juki but it look different. Its eye were red with a slit. It's had black outfit that look torn with a weird symbol in middle of its chest. It's also had tattoos that wrap around arms and legs.

"This is mother true form. She- I was called Joki. The ultimate weapon against the war between the kind and titans and those filthy Elder Gods." It said then pointed to Smoke "She gave up her truth propose for that human and for you. If you two didn't exist I would had kill them all by now! That thing she call emotion was her weakness."

"I don't care about that! It's wasn't for you-"Smoke said but was cut off.

"If wasn't for me would be dead!" It hissed as everything around them went up in flame again. "If wasn't for me you ashes. If wasn't for me the Lin Kuei would had your head a long time ago. I gave your life. No a better life, now it time for you to pay!" as the Enenra transformed again this time as seven foot tall smoke and vapor monster. It had jagged teeth, giant claws, and hulking like form. Smoke eye widen by this. Not believing that this thing have been inside him this whole time.

"Now, give me your body!" It's roared

"Like hell I will! Like they said I'm not some tool to be used." Smoke said as he got himself despite the pain was running through his body. He went into a fighting stance.

*Fight!*

"Ha, ha! You think can stop me?!" the Enenra then charge at Smoke with impress speed Smoke barely had chance to move till the Enenra was top him, pinning Smoke in ground it gaint hand. Smoke tried to break free but the demon grip was too strong. Smoke pull out one Kuni knife to stab it but it went through it.

"I made of Smoke and vapor. Nothing soild can be touch me. Even you should know that." It hissed as it begin to crush Smoke. Smoke began to claw at its hand with his own claws.

"Your body it already turn back to what it was. You can't denied it, that you're not human. Then again you were never human to begin with."

Smoke growled then transformed into vapor to escape. He was able to unpin himself. Smoke able to put some distance between him and the demon. Smoke kneel on the ground. Breathing harder trying to fight through the pain. His body felt heavy and his armor felt tight like his body was growing.

"Just submit already! Your body is already my. You mind and memory are my!"

"But my soul isn't. That proof enough that I'll never submit to you!"

The Enenra growled by this then had a twisted idea. "Fine how about this, if you win you have your body back…for now. But, if I win…" the Enenra once again transformed but this time into Smoke but it skin was a sickly grey and had red eyes.

"Everything will belong to me and you can be cage in your own mind like I was. I'll make it fair." The Enenra then snapped it finger. Smoke look down seeing his body return to normal.

"It wouldn't be fun if you lose that easily."

Smoke look at Enenra with both anger and determination in his eyes. Not wanting this monster to take control of him.

"I will not fall so easily."

*round 2*

Smoke charge at enenra as it also did the same. Clashing with there first. Smoke realized it has the same move as he did. Smoke threw several smoke bombs at it which the Enenra just made disappear

"You forgot where you got your power from."

The Enenra the held out its hands, smoke like hands came out of nowhere, quickly grabbing Smoke arms and legs. There touch burn Smoke caused him yelled in pain. He couldn't move and before he could think of something the Enenra punch him hard in the face. It kept its beat down on Smoke, Smoke try his best to stay conscious. Feeling himself drown deeper in despair.

'I can't lose. I got this far.' Smoke trying not to lose faith thinking all the people he meet. How gotten this far on his own and not this Enenra.

"It over!" the Enenra said as it was about to make one more final blow before It's hands was caught by Smoke

"What!?"

Smoke was able to break free from its hands and summon his own hands by his own which made the Enenra eye widen even more. Smoke then grab his knife and stash off the Enenra right hand. It hissed pain but quickly grab its own knife which two clashed for while.

"This is getting annoying." It said then charge at Smoke again. Smoke saw a openly and saw his chance. He then charge his attack trying to more at strong as he can. The Enenra blast a strong bomb and Smoke can tell if that would hit him he would burn alive from the heat that was coming off from it.

Smoke teleported away when the bomb was very close to hit him. When he did that he charge at the Enenra and punch it in the stomach. He the grab it and did a German suplex. When the Enenra was on the ground trying to get up Smoke deliver a kick to its face.

The Enenra growled by this and both he and Smoke realized that it body was started to become unstable.

"I guess you time is up. I'm not weak as you thought." Smoke said as he was breathing hard "now disappear."

The Enenra just laughed "I underestimated you. I won't make that mistake again, but next time I won't hold back. Till then, don't die!" with that the creature disappear. Leaving Smoke in void of his mind, everything around him was still in fire but despite the flame there was no heat coming off from them. Smoke collapsed on to his knees once the creature was gone. For the first time in a long time he began to cry. It was like every emotion he ever felt came flooding back in full force. What he hold back for years, what he had learn was just too much to bare. Where he was from, his parent, the massacred, his 'death, and the Enenra. It was too much at that moment.

He did realized that there was a hand touching his shoulder. He look up to see the hooded Kuki was next to him.

"It ok. Just let it out, son."

Smoke was going to say what he meant until Kuki pul down his hood to show Smoke his face. He had the same face as Fumo, the man in his memory.

"Fumo? You were my father?"

Kuki or Fumo nodded. Without thinking Smoke hug the man. Fumo hug back with tears in his eyes.

"Tomas, I'm so sorry we couldn't tell you from the start. We didn't want this life for you and we were hoping that you can have a normal life." Fumo said

Both don't know how long they were like this but they didn't care. They wanted to make it least.

"I'm so stupid for let that thing get me. So stupid that you and Juki were-"

"It alright. We all make mistake all that is matter that we learn from them." Fumo said as he pull his son apart from him. Smoke realized Fumo was transparent as if he was see through.

"Look like my time is up."

"What!? No! I just got to meet you. The real you." Smoke said trying to touch his father but it went through him

"I been dead for a long time. I too a little bit of your life force in order for me to stay and help Juki and you. But it now it return to you. In turn I'm must go."

Smoke eyes widen by this. It was like same cruel faith that got to see father but being taken away so soon.

"I'm so glad I got to meet you again." Fumo said with a smile "Tomas, there still a long way for you to go. The Enenra is right, it's part of you. But it up to you use it. You're not a tool or a weapon. Your our son, remember that." As Fumo vanished. Not only that but Smoke was back in the cave, Smoke got up and look around stunned by this. He quickly realized that Juki was still outside waiting. He ran out towards the exit. He have so many question to ask her. When he got out of the cave, Smoke saw Jade holding Juki and Sub-Zero being held by the neck. She turn to Smoke with white glowing eyes.

"There you are Enenra."
