MK: demon of the mist
Ch. 56
The plead from humanity
Sub-Zero and Noob were confessed on what Cyrax had just say. But judging by Cyrax posture he seems to be in a panic.
"What are you talking about, Cyrax?" Sub-Zero asked about to help Smoke but Cyrax stop him.
"Sektor's system is internally different from before! This is why I couldn't hack into him so easily."
As the three wonder what going on with Sektor. Jade, Kitana, and Mileena battle with Kotal and his men continue.
D'Vorah quickly flew towards Sindel who was still incapacitated. As she was about to grab Sindel and a fan flew by glazing her hand. D'Vorah hissed in both in pain and anger. She turns to face Kitana.
"I'm not going let take my mother away!"
"this one would not think a spoil brat like you would interfere with your father plan." D'Vorah said as she sent out a bunch of her bug toward Kitana. Before the bug hit Kitana a gas of poison came out of nowhere.
"What?!" D'Vorah said
Kitana eyes widen in surprised. Till she saw Reptile and Khameleon reappear in front of her.
"There you trater . And it your women that you gave your live too. This one will take great pleasure in taken it all away." D'Vorah said with a devilish smile
"Reptile. Khameleon." Kitana said grateful for their help
"we not let them win this war." Khameleon said as she changes color to green and summon a pole. Reptile also got into fighting stance.
"We are going to save our species from that tyrant who make empty promises.
"this will make sure that promises are kept!" D'Vorah said as she charges at the three.
Meanwhile. Mileena was fighting Ferra and Torr. Mileena have slight advantage since she need to take out Ferra and Torr would be useless since he need a ride. But that was easier said then done as Torr was having the upper hand.
"Prepare to die big teeth lady!" Ferra said while Terra roar as agree with her. Mileena growled at the comment.
"Shut it, you brat!" Mileena then teleport try to take out Ferra from above. Ferra was smarter of the two even for a kid. Ferra commanded Torr to grab Mileena as she was coming out of teleport. Torr then slam her down to ground on her back. He slams so hard it took her breath away, Mileena try to get up but the pain from the attack was too much, she was still too weak from the fight with Skarlet. Torr was about to slam his fist toward her to finish the job until purple lighting hit him. Ferra was able to get off of Torr before the lighting hit him. This surprised all three of them.
"W-What?" Mileena said as finally got up to see Rain come from behind "Never thought I glad to see you."
"a 'thank you' can be nice." Rain said can't believe he is doing this
"I'll say 'thank you' when we win!" Mileena ready her sai
"Rainy! Your big meanie! That wasn't fair!" Ferra said as she got back on Torr who wasn't faze by the attack.
"sorry I don't play fair." Rain then pull out his dagger and both he a then both Mileena and Rain charge at Ferra and Torr.
Jade was also having some trouble as well. Jade clash with Kotal, he was stronger than her but Jade was faster. Both was trying to keep up with one other.
"Kotal please! Stop this I don't want to fight you. We have chance to free Outworld and Edenia." Jade pleaded again
"Sorry Jade. We both know Shao Khan have too much power and he is not the only threat we have to deal with." Kotal said. Jade narrow her eyes and jump back to create some distance between them
"What do you mean?" she asked
"We overheard you guys talking. How that not only the Shinnok is trying to invade Earthrealm but the time Titan is now planning to rest us all. There is no winner in this Jade." Kotal said as then unleash a sun blast that send Jade flying a few feet away.
"you should of surrender while you have a chance." Kotal then change into a panther and charge at Jade.
Smoke was still struggle with Sektor. Knowing that Sektor have gain a boost from Kronika mean bad news for Smoke.
"Let me show you a new trick, Tomas." Sektor then press a button on his wrist then send out a barrier that surround him and Smoke. Cyrax, Noob, and Sub-Zero saw this as they try to reach the two but the barrier was keeping them out. Even Noob try to teleport from underground but the barrier was too strong.
"What is this?" Smoke said to himself as he tries throw a smoke bomb at the barrier but he couldn't. Smoke look at his hand try to summon his power but it won't come out.
"The barrier shut down power from a different plane of exist."
Smoke look up at Sektor who aim his Rocket at him. "your powers are not from this realm or any realm. Kronika told me what you really are. You're a demon follower. And you are threat to her plans." Sektor launch the rocket towards Smoke try to teleport away but he found that also doesn't work. He tries his best to dodge them but there were too much and one hit him. Smoke blasted to their ground, he try to get up and was about to pull his kunai out but Sektor grab his arm and punch him hard in the face.
Smoke was stunned by this. The barrier wasn't only effect able to use his power but he can tell it was draining him also. He was getting slower and weak; he could tell this.
"I'm now stronger than you Tomas. Surrender and I just break you arms and legs." Sektor said in tatting tone. Smoke was trying to think of what to do. He was not going to let Sektor win, having him and the Grandmaster have there way and using him as a weapon again.
Smoke grab his last kunai knight he had and was about to aim at Sektor.
"you think that puny weapon can Pierce me?"
"It like Cyrax said. I realize too much on my power. And beside who said I was aiming to pierce you?" Smoke said as he aim the kunai spear towards around Sektor's metal leg, Sektor saw this and quickly try to cut off. But, before he could do that, Smoke use all of his strength to pull the chair rope forcing Sektor trip and fall. Smoke then use that chance to charge toward and ready to punch Sektor in the chest.
"Hey, Enenra! If you want to live so badly you better give as much power you can!" Smoke said, hating the fact that he has to ask for the demon help. The Enenra growled hating like the idea either but it doesn't really have choice. With the strength of the Enenra, Smoke was able to punch a hole through Sektor's armor which shock Sektor.
"H-How?! I drain you!" Sektor said trying get up even with a giant hole in his chest
Smoke didn't say anything he just pull his fist out that was cover in blood and oil. He didn't want to show Sektor that he was really was drain and if this attack didn't work, he was finish. The barrier that surround them began to disappear. Sub-Zero and Noob quickly rush to Smoke's side
"Are you ok Tomas?" Sub-Zero said worry about his friend and clearly seeing the injures. Smoke saw his comrade's injury. He cursed to himself wishing he could have done more.
At the same time the battle with Smoke and Sektor was happening, Jade and Kotal was still going. Jade was trying her best to keep up with Kotal. She knows that she have to win and if she doesn't then they take Sindel and it would be over for them. Jade will not let that happen.
Jade took a quick glace over to Kitana and Mileena battle seeing that Reptile, Rain, and Khameleon were helping them.
"You should be more concern of your battle, Jade." Kotal said getting Jade attention again. "Like I said before Jade the offer still stands."
"And like we said before, I refuse. If there a chance to save Earthrealm from that brute I'm going to take it. I'm sick of stand by as realms get destroy! And I know you are too." Jade said
Kotal look down thinking what Jade said and she was right. He was sick of it but at the same time he cares for his people and he was afraid of what will happen to his people if he would rebel.
"we are all sick of this. Jade. But we have bigger desire to survive. To live."
His word for some reason angrier Jade "You call this living?!" I watch my people die. Saw my father die while I ran away like a coward. Force watch what happen to my realm and queen and was turn into a killing machine by that tyrant!" Jade said as charge at Kotal at high speed that even surprised from Jade attack as they were usually more elegant then this. But now she is showing her fury. Jade kept up attack, not letting up for a second.
"Don't let up. Don't let up." Jade kept saying to herself knowing she not strong as Kotal but she faster then him. She just kept at it. Kotal try to push back but Jade push just as hard
'what going on?! She not this strong?! She not letting me attack!" Kotal though. For a moment he look down his wrist to the bracelet that Sektor gave to everyone before the attack.
*flashback*
"wear this." Sektor said as he passes the bracelet out to everyone.
"What is this?" Kotal asked
"it supposes to tell me were everyone is and its also commuter, so we can talk to each other. It will be easy for you Outworlders to use. One last thing it's a warning system."
Kotal look up at Sektor. "a warning system?"
Sektor turn to face Kotal. "If things go wrong. I have a last resort. You better to make sure you take that warning seriously, because it the only warning I'm giving you."
*End of flashback*
When Kotal look down at the bracelet it was glowing and beeping. Jade stop her attack when she saw the bracelet beeping.
"Kotal, what is that?" Jade said getting there feeling something bad was about to happen. That something isn't right. She looks at Kotal face giving off a concern look.
"Kotal, what is that!?"
