Ch.41

The mind is scary

AN: a few thing, I try to separate the Enenra and the Titan lines so hopeful it not too confessing. Also I made the Enenra gender-neutral ( kind of it might change late.). one more thing this ch. With threw many changes so that why it took long. Trust this version was the better version.

Smoke was back in the void of the mind. Just this time it wasn't his. He know that he enter Jade mind without thinking, all he know she could be dead and whatever that thing is have her body. Smoke kept walk till he came to a hall that looked similar to the one in his mind.

"This feel familiar." Smoke said to himself

"Well, of course the mind can sometime have the same set."

Smoke eye widen realize who was that voice. He turn around to see the Enenra who was still in the same form it was before.

"Why the hell you here?!" Smoke yelled ready to attack it

"Clam down, I'm not here to kill you, yet that is. I told you not to get kill and what you do? Fucking get stuck in a body that is a possessed by a Goddamn Titan!"

Smoke just rolled his eyes "I didn't think it would work. Beside still don't answer why you are here?"

"When you enter her mind, you fused your mind with her for you can connect. I was resting try get back at you, but you went into another battle." The Enenra said as it walk towards Smoke.

"Not like I have much of a choice. My friend and My Mother was in trouble. And Jade was being possessed by a –

"Titan."

"A Titan."

The Enenra just scoffed "You should have let them die." Smoke narrow his eyes not liking its comment. Smoke just ignored it while wondering why there so many door in the halls.

"Why are there so many doors?" Smoke asked

"This is her mind it set up like that. Not all mind work the same."

"Do you know how to free her?"

The Enenra rolled its eye "Why should I tell you?"

"You tell me or I'm just walking and get a chance I'll die and you never get my body." Smoke said as was about to walk off into hall.

The Enenra groaned knowing that Smoke was right. It have to help him since it couldn't pull out of the mind so easily.

"Fine, just because I'm stuck here and I don't want to die." The enenra then pointed down the hall " see these chains on some of the door?" Smoke look down the hall to see in fact that some of the doors do have some chains on them. "The Titan that controlling you girlfriend is using the same trick that I used on you to get full control."

"She not my girlfriend." Smoke retorted

"Whatever, you have to find the memory it using for controlling her body. I think she have a harmony heart so it should be easier to get her out of this mess. If it wasn't for that she be long dead."

"A harmony heart? You mean the thing that Sub-Zero had? Does everyone have one?" Smoke asked started to wonder on that.

"Only choose ones have one or at least access to one. But you should hurry, the Titan is probably doesn't know were in here and once it's find out were screwed." Smoke nodded trying to figure out where to start. He had trouble with his own mind problem. There was just so many door more than the ones in his mind. Smoke took breath try to figure out where to start, then he noticed one of the doors had a light under it. Smoke was draw to the door. When he went he touch the door he and the Enenra was drag in.

Both saw behind the door was a beautiful realm. It was a very lush and fertile world. There was lush fountain and building, Smoke was so amaze by this.

"Where are we?"

"Edenia." The Enenra said not really impressed by this.

"This is Edenia? How you know this you never been here, I never been here.

"Not as you. When I was Joki, would have destroy this place by now."

"Is that all you want? to go destroy thing?"

"I have other plan. That is nah of your business."

Smoke was going to say something else till he heard giggles. He turn around to see a small little girl playing around the fountain the little girl have green eye.

"It that Jade?"

"Yep seem like it."

They saw playing till they heard a voice

"Jade! Come here."

All three turn to see three people. One was a couple while there was a man with dark skin who look like Jade. Smoke put two and two together and might be her father. The other was seem to be a older couple which the women seem to pageant. Jade ran up to them with a smile.

"What are you doing?" the man asked

"I was study the fountain it made gold and marble right?" Jade said as she couldn't hide her excitement.

"Yes, yes. You are correct. But jade you remember why you are here? You wanted to asked the king and queen something remember?" the man asked. Jade eye widen remember what she wanted to asked.

"R-Right!"

She kneel to the older couple.

"King Jerrod. Queen Sindel. I want to be a royal guard so I can protect the future child for Edenia." Jade said in serious tone for more than someone her age. Sindel couldn't help but giggle.

"Well Jade when your older we gladly take you ask royal guard." Sindel said as she pet Jade's head. Jade with disappoint look.

"But I want to be a royal guard now! Jade get up than summon her stuff to show, the king and queen. "See I can summon a weapon."

King Jarrod study the weapon "that a very impressive. Even someone your age."

"My father made it for me and he taught me. I want to be as strong and loyal as he is." Jade said with Pride, Jarrod smile them gave back the weapon. Jade try to hold her excitement again. Her father look at her proud and happy by the news.

As this was happening, Smoke and the Enenra look from afar.

"This must be the time were she become guard. But that not Shoa Khan, is it?" Smoke asked

"This is before the takeover. This might be the memory we are looking for. Whatever the point in time of the memory was the most impacting that would be the key." The Enenra stated

"That how you hold me?"

"Heh- not quiet. You're a special case. Anyway we better hurray."

Smoke was going to asked what it meant till he noticed that the ground was creaking. Not only that the sky, build, the people were all having. The enenra growled by this.

"It warping memory to its advantage."

"What does that mean?!" Smoke wonder by the memory that being breaking apart

"The titan is breaking her down. Her mind will collapse before her body and she'll die also…"The Enenra show Smoke a line on the ground. "That our mind or should I say your mind. The titan probably now we are in her mind so it might want to take over us. I'll hold it back, if there anyone is going take over your body it's me!" the Enenra transform into it hulking smoke form.

"I'll give you ten min to free her or ill pull us out." Then Enenra the vanish leaving smoke alone. Smoke try he figure what to do. He does know which memory is the true memory? Not like he was there when it happen. As he was walking around the memory more when the memory itself changes now in a burning village. Smoke stare in shock getting deja vu what happen to him.

He seeing people running screaming from look like monster with be massive teeth. There were killing everyone the in city as people were running away. He then saw Jade's father fighting them off. He could see the young Jade. She was scared and shuddering. She couldn't move as she was paralyze with fear. She ran away from this onslaught not hearing her father shouting at her. Smoke follow her wondering where she was going. He found himself in a building that look like a church or a temple to him. There was a huge statue in the middle of it that look like a women.

"This place feel off." Smoke thought as he walk inside. He saw Jade who look like she was praying at the altar. He walk up to her knowing that she can't see or hear him. Smoke try to understand what she was saying. Jade was whispering something but Smoke could not understand what saying but the statue that was in front of them says something.

"My child, I can grant your wish. You will have the power to protect those who want to protect. The Queen and her unborn child. Even to protect this realm. "The statue said which made Smoke eyes widen not think the statue would speak. It was giving off a sinner tone that he could point his finger on it.

"Come to me I can make it happen."

Jade began to reach out toward the statue. Smoke realize something wasn't right. He quickly grab her arm in both him and her shock. Smoke was shock that he was able to touch her. Jade look up at smoke.

"Smoke? What are you doing here?" Jade said in confession. Smoke quickly gran her away from the statue. The statue began to transform.

"How dare you get my way Enenra?!" It hissed as it began wrap the room into darkness it as if all the light was gone. The titan transform into something hideous have one huge eye. Four arms and tendrils coming from it back. As the monster tower the two, Smoke try to run with Jade to get away but the monster block his path.

"You two aren't going anywhere!"

Meanwhile, outside of Jade's mind. Juki and Sub-Zero were see what to do. They soon heard someone behind them. They turn to see Kitana, Mileena, and the other Earthrealmers.

"What going on? What is he doing to Jade?!" Mileena yelled as she ran towards them.

"Mileena1 wait!" Juki try to warn her, but as soon as she got near them she was almost burn by the steam. Kitana rush to her aid.

"There some kind of barrier around them. I think its Smoke doing." Sub-zero said

"I see. This energy that felt before the light, it more powerful than an Elder god. Now I know what its it." Raiden stated

"It's a titans. It possessed Jade probably during her fight with Kasai." Juki said

"I see, then we have no choice if they fail." Everyone turn to Raiden "we will no choice but to kill them."
