Mortal Kombat: Demon of the mist

Ch. 48

Quan Chi frown knowing thing aren't going his way. He was hoping that Tanya's reinforcement would come soon. It was bad enough that all his subrate had gone rouge. Sareena was one of demon he knew that was going to betray him sooner or later. He was hoping that she would die during one mission. But know Quan Chi knew what she had been planning. Noob or Bi-Han regain his memory so he had no control over him anymore. He thought it would be better to tame a Spector that doesn't know what happen then he did with Scorpion. Speaking of Scorpion, he lost his best man the moment he found the truth and knowing this he knows Scorpion will go after him now. Quan Chi have no choice but to stall for time, just till he could figure out what to do next.

"Scorpion. Do you honestly believe these lies? Do you forget who the one help you on your revenge. We had a deal I get you sub-Zero you serve me for entity." Quan Chi said with a wicked smile but soon he barely had enough time to dodged Scorpion's spear.

"Stop talking! How dare you laid to me! You the one who kill my entire clan. You the one that torture my wife. And kill them!" Scorpion said ready his blade "Then putting the blame on same one else like spineless coward you are."

Quan Chi Smirk hiding his fear knowing he out number even if half them are injured. He then got an idea, since he summons the Soul Tornado there was small chance this would work.

"seeing that things aren't going my way; it seems that I have to improvised." Quan Chi said as he quickly chats some untangle word. Then release a massive green energy to the ground causing the ground shake.

Everyone was wondering what did Quan Chi just do. They soon get there answer as hands began to came out the ground. Soon dead bodies were rising from the graves and they were beginning to surround the group.

"Do you think this will stop me?!" Scorpion hissed ready to charge at Quan Chi but got block by some of the zombies

"No, but it should slow you guys down while I start with plan B." Quan Chi said as pull out a weird looking crystal with a grey smokey like color that had a heart like shape in it. Smoke took one look at the crystal and it remind him the one Sub-Zero had that he stole from the Grandmaster.

"Get It!" the Enenra hissed almost sounding frantic when he saw the crystal.

"why"

"Just do it!"

Quan Chi made a portal with the crystal. Noob, Scorpion, and Smoke all teleported were Quan Chi and all three of them were about to attack him at once. Quan Chi Quickly aim the crystal toward then then let out a huge beam of white energy that blasted all three of them away. As the crystal begin to power down it began to look cloudier than before. Quan Chi Quickly went to portal leaving the leaving there group to fight off the undead.

Scorpion quickly got up being unfazed by the energy blast. He franticly looks around trying to find Quan Chi but there was no since of him. He was so enraging that he didn't see the five undead zombies head his way, as soon as they got near him, they combust into flames.

"you think these things will stop me ?!" Scorpion roar as he charges at the zombies. Noob weakly got up and have to summon Saibot to him up. He was pissed knowing that Quan Chi got away. He was about to go after him when he noticed that Smoke wasn't getting up and he was shaking violently. He was also grabbing his head in pain.

"Tomas? Alright?" Noob quickly ran to him but was stop by Saibot who was keeping Noob away from Smoke. Noob try tell it to go away but it refuses, in fact it seems like it was trying to warned Noob not to get near Smoke. Noob can till there was some dark energy was coming off of Smoke but he ignored it. When Noob try to touch Smoke, he slashes at Noob with his claw like smoke hand who barely back away in time.

"Stay …away…" Smoke hissed trying to keep himself together. The Enenra in his head was growling and hissing being more animalic. Smoke don't know what happen, the moment when Quan Chi used that Crystal it was like his soul was on fire again.

'what going on, what did Quan Chi do to me?' Smoke thought

"Tomas! Look out!"

Smoke was able to hear Bi-Han voice just in time to look up to see Zombies were about to attack him. Tomas was able to turn himself smoke just in time before the zombies attack him. At the same time, he slashes the Zombies head off. Smoke was breathing hard but he was starting feel little better.

"Smoke! Bi-Han!" Sub-Zero called out as he, Jade and Sareena were getting surrounded by the undead. Jade was trying her best to defend Nightwolf who was still unconscious. Both Bi-Han and Smoke join them on the fight, Smoke can tell that everyone was tried from all the fighting each other. Everyone tries to think what they can do till they head a roar and all turn to see Scorpion slashing all the zombies.

"you think this will stop me Quan Chi?! When I find you., you'll regret bringing me back to live!" Scorpion roar in no one particular. This remind Sareena on something that gave her idea.

"yes, Quan Chi was the one kills your family and clan!" Sareena yelled which made everyone confessed what Sareena was doing.

"what hell are you doing?!" Sub-Zero was going ask and was about to stop her till Bi-Han stop him.

"trust us. We saw this before. when I give signal, you make the biggest ice wall you can make, got that?!" Bi-Han said Sub-Zero was going to question what his brother meant, till he felt the air around him was getting hotter. Sub-Zero turn to Scorpion who was grabbing his head like he was in pain. There was flame on his body that he bigger.

"he told me he enjoyed it he took pleasure killing them one by one. He even told me that your wife was his favorite part. And how he wish he could of done it forever." Sareena said knowing this will enrage Scorpion even more. She didn't want to say those things but right now this is what they need. As her word were getting to Scorpion, having him imagine what Sareena just told him. Wishing he was there to protect them. His family and clan having the feeling that he had failed them. Knowing they all stuffer before getting a painful death.

This was all too much for him to bare. Scorpion then let out a cry out despair as he let out a massive wall of fire that spared quickly, destroying all of the undead zombie. Sub-Zero was able to be fast enough to create a wall of ice to block the flame from incinerating them to ashes. It barely blocks the flames and ice was almost about to melt. As the flames disappear, Sub-Zero dismantle the ice wall that nearly drain him of his energy. Everyone turn to Scorpion who was breathing hard from that attack, he was about to collapse but surprised when he saw someone caught him and was shocked to see it was Bi-Han

"get off me." Scorpion hissed try not to show that he weak from the outburst.

"I glad have ended you for killing me, but don't know why I'm letting you live. May be out of pity or I just wanting to make Quan Chi to stuffer more." Bi-Han said in a coldly manner. He wouldn't had blame Scorpion for kill him since it would have been fairer. But the fact that Bi-Han was kill for a false crime anger him more. make matter worse he causes his brother so much pain and to him that was unforgivable.

"I don't need your pity." Scorpion said snapping Bi-Han back reality. "Just because you yourself didn't kill them does me anything. If you didn't kill me, I could had saved them!"

"Enough!"

Both Bi-Han and Scorpion turn to Sareena

"look, both of you have beef with one another, but right now we all have a common enemy. Quan Chi. If either of you went back to Neitherealm to fight him he has army that can wipe you out before one of get him. And both of you forgot Shinnok, didn't you?" Sareena pointed out. Both Noob and Scorpion look away from her embarrassed that she was right and didn't wanted to adamant it. "I think it best that all three of us should work with the Earthrealmers. If we help them, we can get to Quan Chi without dealing with his allies." Sareena said as she recalled all the horribly thing, she did under Quan Chi's order he don't want that man to go unpunished.

"Let us work together and after this you two can settle thing with each other. Got it?"

Both Bi-Han and Scorpion look at each other knowing that Sareena was right. If would be better to ruin Quan Chi plan and make him stuffer even more.

"Fine, but after this over. Your next Bi-Han." Scorpion said

"Same go for you, Hanzo." Noob said coldly.

As the three was talking. Jade was treating both Nightwolf and Smoke. Night wolf seem to be regaining his conscious. While Smoke was still trying to get himself together. His body felt hot still and skin seem to took a pale like color.

'What going on, Enenra?' Smoke asked and for the first time it didn't response which disturbed him.

At the same time Smoke group was fighting Quan Chi group. Raiden, Lu Kang, Kung lao, And Juki were outside of the Elder Gods temple.

"Never would have thought I set food here." Juki said putting her hood over her head to cover his face. Not wanting the Elder Gods to see her.

"You been here before?" Lu Kang asked

"Once, didn't quite make a good impression."

"Stay on track, Juki. I will ask the Elder gods for help. And also, about your son, Tomas." Raiden said which made Juki eyes widen

"You knew."

"I figure much. How you defend Tomas. He also similar aura as you but it seems like there two auras in him. "Raiden pointed out

"I see but I think it be better if you didn't tell." Juki said

"I know you don't trust Elder Gods. But due to current situation we don't have much of a choice. My vision is getting vaguer and confessing."

"Vision?" Juki said in confession not knowing what the lighting God is talking about.

"My furtureself, had send me vision so I can prevent Armageddon. So far it had not work out in my favor." Raiden look down remembering all the vision he had.

"In order to stop Armageddon, we must get the aid of Elder Gods and that mean…"

"Telling the truth. I know I know. I just get this over with being here just bring back bad memory."

Raiden nodded as all four of them went into the temple. As they walk into temple, they enter a room Raiden beckon them to the center the room. When they got to center of them room six massive faces appear in front of them.

"Welcome Raiden." They said in union, creepy Lu Kang and Kung Leo but they try not show it

"What bring you here?"

"We come to ask for your assistance. Shao Khan had broken the rules of Mortal Kombat. He is invading Earthrealm." Raiden said

There was only silent from the Elder Gods until one of them spoke up. This face seems to be a woman.

"We will not intervene." The women Elder God said that shocked Raiden

"I don't understand. Shao Khan broken the…"

"He has not broken the rule. The rule states that he must win ten tournaments in order to fuse the realm. He is just invading. We will not interfere in mortal matter. It is up to you and your champions to defend your realm." The Elder God Stated

"What?!" Both Lu Kang and Kung Lao said at the same time, not believing that elder gods would leave them high and dry.

"So just because Shao Khan just invading and messing up our world. You guys aren't going to help because he didn't break the and fusing the realm?!" Kung Lao said in outrage.

"We cannot." They all said at once

"But it like lord Raiden said he broken the rule." Lu Kang said

"He had Not." They said

All three of them couldn't believe this. The Elder Gods won't help them because Shao Khan found a loophole to their failsafe. As this was going on Juki over heard this and she was not surprised in Elder Gods ways. She remembers them being more talk then action, which she hated the most about them.

"I see something never change." Juki said as she got the Elder Gods attention. All Elder Gods were trying to figure who was this mysterious fourth person is. They know everyone mortal who enter the temple, but they couldn't figure out who. Juki just smirked then lifted up her hood to reveal her face to them. All the Elder Gods eyes widen in shock.

"Long time to see, Cetrion."

A/N: so, one thing that always bugged me in MK was Noob And Scorpion relationship. I mean both timeline it was avoided and both of just hate Sub-Zero more then each other. At least MK11 try to point out there relationship. ( one of few thing MK11 got going for it.)
