"You don't know a thing about him." Jade yelled back try to find a opening to Tanya attack

"And you do?"

Tanya then got on top of her staff. She backflip off the staff then sham her staff down that Jade barely dodge. Jade saw her chance and quickly grab Tanya arms and pin them to her back. Jade quickly pull out her dagger ready to slice Tanya's throat.

"being cold, aren't we?"

"you would done the same." Jade said as she was about to stab Tanya said. Tanya then dislocated her arm to break free from Jade. She kicks Jade so hard that it broke some of her ribs. This course her to drop her dagger. But Tanya caught it.

"You wrong by one thing." Tanya as walk up to Jade who was trying to get up. But Tanya dig her heal inn Jade's wrist "I would make you beg for mercy." Tanya then stab Jade in the Knee causing her to scream in pain

"Told I just break you know." Tanya was about stab Jade other knee till a boomerang come out nowhere and slice her hand off. Tanya scream in pain and shock by this. Jade then trip Tanya with all her strength. This put some distance between them.

"When the hell you threw a boomerang?"

"When you were busy talking shit." Jade got up got her staff

"Wait! wait!" Tanya said trying to get up still holding her severe hand "listen you need me! I know what they are planning! You need…"

"Tanya, you ready need shut up and die." Jade then charge Tanya with staff slicing her in half by the waist. Tanya was stunned as ger upper half of her body slide off to ground motionless. Jade huffed trying gather herself together.

Smoke still trying to figure out what going on with Noob. Wondering how he know his real name.

"wasn't me… wasn't me." Noob kept saying to himself.

For Noob it was like memory were running threw his head. He couldn't process it.

"who are you Noob?" Smoke demand again try to get near him, but his shadow clone kept him at bay. Smoke noticed that. Saibot like it was melt and trying it best to hold it together. Smoke saw this knowing there was something wrong with Noob. Smoke decide he going to get to the bottom of this. He used his ability as smoke like hands grab Saibot from the arms. Saibot struggling to break free from the hands that was holding it. It was trying to melt away from it but Saibot couldn't. Smoke quickly went up to Noob who was still on the ground kneeling not noticing that Smoke was in front of him.

"Just Kill him." The Enenra hissed in his head

"No. Not till I know what going on." Smoke said then look at Noob closely. He decides to do something drastic. He took off Noob mask to see what he looks like some. he needs to know who this man really is. When he took one look at Noob, he recognize immediately who he was

"Bi-Han?" Smoke whisper but it was loud enough for Noob to hear. He looks up for a spill second his eye change from white to blue. The same blue eyes that Bi-Han had.

"Tomas?" Noob said not knowing why he said that. It was like that he knew person to that name. "why? How?"

Smoke put his hand on Noob shoulder try to comfort him but was same time was stunned by this revelation "by the gods, it is you. "Smoke kneeled down to Bi-Han "what happen to you?"

"I-I don't know." Bi Han said as he looks at his hand, he try to remember what happen. All the memory he had regain were still a blur. But one memory stuck out to him the most.

He remembers fighting Scorpion in the NetherRealm. He lost the fight, but to his shock Scorpion didn't kill him. He was saying that he avenges his family and clan. Bi-Han would think it would be foolish for this ninja let him live but at the same time grateful that he wasn't going to say it to the ninja face. He still doesn't understand what he meant about his family and clan. Noob knew that this ninja was from the Shiri Ryu from his fighting style. His grandmaster informs him that the clan was destroyed so he didn't care for it. Just then Quan chi came out of nowhere. Bi-Han remember this bastard sorcerer from the last mission he was set to realizing that he set him up with Scorpion to get map. Bi-Han put two and two together being that Scorpion was the same man that he killed on the mission.

Quan Chi asked why Scorpion didn't Kill Bi-Han. Scorpion explain his reason saying that he avenges there death by beating the man that kill them and there was no point on killing him. Quan Chi frown does not like this answer tell him that has he forgotten what Sub-Zero had done. Quan Chi made an image in front of them show what happen to the clan. Bi-Han was getting up, try to figure out what was going on or what was Quan Chi was showing Scorpion. But judging by the look of disbelief from Scorpion.

"NO!" Scorpion yelled in rage.

Bi-Han try to get up, but the NetherRealm made him too weak. He couldn't use his ice power anymore. He did know what Quan Chi show him but what ever it was it was all a lied.

"It wasn't me." Bi-Han was managed to say, but it was too late. Scorpion rip off his mask to show his flaming skull and it was the last thing that Bi-Han.

"I was blame for killing his family and clan." Bi-Han said putting the memory together.

"I saw that in your memory." Smoke stated Bi-Han look at him confessed "I-I look at your memory when the Lin Kuai got you body. I saw how you were killed and burnt to a crisp. Scorpion hellfire must of- "

"Scorpion." Noob hissed at the name that cause him so much trouble. His eye began to turn white again from anger. Smoke saw this made him worry. Wondering if Bi-Han had the same issue as he had.

"Bi-Han?" Smoke was going asked him he alright before he could black spike came out of nowhere. Smoke barely had time dodge to avoid getting hit by it. Bi-Han eyes widen, and his eye went back to blue.

"Tomas! Are you alright?" Bi-Han said not knowing this came from but soon both realize the black spike were coming out of him like ink. Saibot was also began to reform in front Bi-Han and getting between them.

"Saibot! What are you do- "Bi-Han was cut off as the black shadow was covering his body and drag him under ground.

"What going on?" Smoke try to figure out what going with Saibot and why was he doing this to Bi-Han.

"He dies in NetherRealm, right." The Enenra asked

"Yea? What that have to do with Saibot?"

"When a person dies in the NetherRealm, what ever darkness that was in a person can wrap them into wraith if the darkness was powerful enough. The NetherRealm is the One being hatred and darkness."

"in other words?" Smoke said turning back Saibot who had form weapon that look like sickle.

"It made his darkness a physical manifestation of his self."

"Great." Smoke groan as he got in fight stance knowing that Saibot was about to attack. Saibot charge at Smoke at full speed. Smoke threw a smoke bomb at the shadow demon hoping it would slow it down but his surprised it went right through it. Saibot made multiple portal around Smoke. Kicks and punches were coming out the portal and Smoke was getting hit from them. Smoke teleported away from the surrounding portals try to give him some distance.

Saibot teleported behind and stab Smoke in arm as Smoke block the attack. Smoke pull out one of his kunai knife with a rope and try to wrap the rope around Saibot to capture it. Saibot struggle with the rope trying to melt threw it but Smoke made the rope burn so that Saibot wouldn't break through.

Smoke quickly ran where Bi-Han was still trap in the shadow in the ground. He was trying to climb up from it during Smoke fight. But he was being pull down by some force. Smoke grab Bi-Han's hands to pull him up from the portal.

Bi-Han, why isn't that thing does not listen to you?" Smoke said as he was still pulling Bi-Han from the portal.

"I don't know…" Bi-Han then got up to turn to Saibot who was still struggle with the burning rope. Bi-Han then made a portal underneath Saibot, who fell in. "I will deal with him later." Bi-Han then look at Smoke. "where Kuai Liang?"

"He still fights Scorpion. We have to find him!" Smoke said having a very bad feeling

Meanwhile, Sub-Zero and Scorpion were still fighting at first Sub-Zero had the upper hand, but Scorpion was soon being the one that was winning . He knew this new Sub-Zero trick he just need fight someone once to understand how they work and how he could use it against them.

Sub-Zero was kneeling breathing hard. He was stab in muitlby places.

"I best you Sub-Zero. You always be nothing but scum to the earth. I make sure that as long as there a Sub-Zero I kill as many times that I need to!" Scorpion roar ready his weapon to strike down Sub-Zero. For the first time in a long time Kuai Lang felt fear. he try to not show it knowing that his brother would mock him. Kuai Lang thought turn to Bi-Han, always admire him in how strong he was. Even though the clan made Kuai Liang a shadow of his brother. His brother was always was better them in everything, and he was hoping in defecting Scorpion would not only honor his brother but finally put him away from being a shadow of his brother.

In that moment there was a slash. Sub-Zero was shock in what he saw. He saw Noob getting between Scorpion and him taking the slash that was cross his chest. Scorpion eyes was widening by this.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Scorpion asked clearly to confess by this wondering why was Noob was doing this.

"Get the hell away from my brother!" Noob yelled as punch scorpion in the face so hard that he few feet away from them and knock him on the ground. Sub-Zero was shock by this thinking that Noob betray Scorpion. But he was more shock in what Noob just said. So, shock the tears began to form in his eyes

"You were always way crybaby, Kuai Liang." Noob said in joking tone huffing from the wound. Sub-Zero needed a second to process what he heard but this confirm on something.

"Bi-Han?" Sub-Zero finally said. Noob or Bi-Han just nodded weakly

"I don't have all my memory, but I remember I'm Bi-Han and Kuai Laing. My bother." Bi-Han and Kuai Lang turn to see Tomas who ran up to the two.

"II can't believe it." Kuai Lang have so many questions before he could ask a giant wall of fire surround them.

"YOU WILL ALL PAY!"
