Hi, I'm done with all my assignments! So I can upload this one before my exams. So, as I was laughing rereading my previous chapter, let's see what surprises I have made for myself in this one.

Chapter 5

No holding back.

Here I am faced with the crowd, the Shaolin Monks, Shang Tsung and all of the fighters around me. I could literally die with just a swing from that pole Jade was carrying. But if I imagined other things she could do with it…

"FIGHT!"

With a flash, I was knocked from my feet. I quickly got up to dodge another swing from Jade's pole. Fuck, I wished I knew how to fight for real. I should have joined the Muay Thai club with Kristina. In fact no one except Kristina can fill most of her time slots with sports after school and still have energy to do homework. Bryan is always with his crew at the computer labs, either playing League of Legends or discussing another science jargon I wouldn't understand. Riana has the most obvious one: Nature and volunteering club.

Speaking of volunteering, I really appreciate if someone could give me a heads up on how to block or not grow hard when Jade runs. Seriously, who wouldn't be mesmerised by those two melons jiggling? When she ran forward, I use my foot to stop the swing of the pole in time before I used my right hand to grab the pole away from her. Somehow she knew this and flipped over me like a graceful acrobat. Well, so much for controlling my boner if I'm going to have a few view of her…

Anyways, I was exhausted. I think that's her strategy: Keeping me busy so that I will tire out, then she will finish me. Not in a good way. I'll have to think of a way to slow her down before she strikes me again. But my mind is blank at the moment!

"Come on, Nash!" Riana cheered. "You can do it, little bro!"

"Yeah!" Kristina cried. "Show her what'cha made off!"

"Don't puss out bro!" Bryan added. "Pussy up!"

Somehow that last statement is not reassuring…

Just as Jade was coming again, graceful body begging me to take her from me, used her pole to support her like those athletes doing the high jumping act. It was my chance to tackle the pole, knocking her off.

Quickly, I pinned her down with her face on the ground. Realising our position, I could feel my cheeks becoming pink from blushing. But Jade was not giving up. I had to hold her down before she gets up and kick my ass for good! Actually, I will have to think about that later…

I tried everything I could from blocking her, or try to scratch her but my nails were clipped. I closed my eyes and allowed my arms to be crazy in battle. Suddenly, I heard something ripped and the whole arena was silent by gasps all around me. When I opened my eyes, I was staring at everyone in confusion along with my mentor, whose eyes were wide with horror while my friends had three different expressions. Bryan looked like his gut was busted from all the laughter that came out of him, Kristina had her mouth hanging in a gasps and Riana looked disturbed as she used a hand to shield Kurt from looking into my direction. I decided to look at where everyone was staring:

There in front of me, was Jade. She was covering her chest with her arm to hide her bosoms from her. Her expression had a mixed of anger and embarrassment. Murmurs started to become louder from the spectators and everyone in the arena. Then I stared at my hand… I was holding a green ripped out fabric…

"Oh fuck…"

Well, since I basically exposed her bare top in front of not only my friends and mentor; but the other fighters, Shang Tsung with the whole Shaolin Monks and audience as well! In the end, Shang Tsung forfeited the match, saying that I broke the rule. I felt cheated at this point. You can tear someone from limb to limb, use dangerous weapons to kill each other but they can't handle a bit of nudity?

My face was red and I want to bury myself in a hole. All eyes are on me now. Once I was out of the arena, Kitana slapped me across the face.

"What was that?!" she demanded. "You know well that it is against the rules to tear out someone's outfit and exposed them to millions of people?"

"N-no!" I protested, rubbing my sore cheek. "I was just defending myself."

"Nash, what were you thinking?!" Kristina yelled and punched my shoulder roughly. "Are you this stupid?!"

"I thought I had it bad," Bryan giggled. "But look whose going to be well known for making the first Mortal Kombat 'humiliation'!"

Then Riana came up to me, I noticed both her and Kurt had disappointment looks on their faces. My sister eyed me carefully. "You fucked up, Nash. Seriously, there is a line that needs to be drawn if you want to finish someone. Humiliation is worst than all the limbs you tore or slashed from other bodies. At least that person is dead. Jade will forever be scarred by what you did to her."

I am lost at this point. No one wants to speak to me or reassure me that everything is going to be okay. I watched Jade calling my sister to follow her, only to cast a disgusted glance at me before walking off. Kitana grabbed my hand, since I had no choice I followed her.

…

We were back into the Edenian Palace, where I was told to have a wash before getting dressed in the clothes the servants provided for me. It's not too bad, actually. At least this tub I am in scrubbing myself, has hot water. I am so thankful for the soaps they have here. All of them have spicy scents. I wonder how Riana is doing. More importantly, Jade…

If I could find her alone, I'll apologise. Yeah, I think that's the best I could do if I am to be stuck in this realm forever.

Once I was done, one of the servant escorted me to my room, a place where I will be staying. It looks cozy with a nice bed, enough space for me to do stretching, a shelf, a wardrobe where you could just slide the doors to open it. Finally, a desk and chair if I need to write something. I thanked the servant, who bowed before leaving.

Then, I noticed a scroll on the desk with a seal of the dragon. I unrolled it, and read through. Apparently, it was from the old clod, Shang Tsung. In the scroll, he had left a small amount of their so called 'money' which will help me buy some new clothes and maybe food if I am going to stay. The more I win in matches, the payment will be greater. I guessed Kristina has the most since she had a draw with Ermac. Also, the message he sent said he wants me to come alone after dinner. Bring no one else.

I find that a bit suspicious.

Just then, Riana barged into my room without knocking first. Her outfit now is just something like a nightgown but at least it is not a see-through or have very low cuttings. That would be awkward to the both of us. She had a similar scroll in her hand.

"Hey little bro," she greeted. "Did Shang Tsung gave you some money?"

"Yeah. I think we should ask Kitana or Jade about where is the nearest market or bazaar if we are going to spend it. I-"

"Speaking of Jade," she interrupted me. "Are you going to apologise or make amends with her?"

I nodded. Then, I whispered: "Sis, please don't tell anyone about this. I have to meet Shang Tsung tonight. He wants me for some reason. I don't know if I should go alone. Hell, I don't have fighting skills yet. I may be as bad or worst than Bryan when it comes to battle. So, could you please accompany me? Don't worry, I will explain to that old man why I brought you."

Riana eyed me carefully before reading my scroll. She pondered for a moment. I was so nervous for her answer, I felt like my stomach is squeezing itself to death. But then, a small smile was played on her lips. She rubbed my head.

"Sure thing," she nodded. "But we'll have to wait for the three of them to fall asleep. Unless you have a better idea."

…

It was a long wait until I watched the last light snuffed out before making my move. I climbed quietly through my window before landing with a soft 'thud'. The atmosphere is so silent I can hear my own heartbeat. I decided to wear something that is not a light colour. I scanned the darkness, trying to locate my sister.

"Nash."

I almost screamed before a hand covered my mouth. It was Riana. She was still in her nightgown for some reason. Her glasses were the only thing reflected in the moonlight. On her shoulder, Kurt was sitting comfortably as he watched me with curiosity.

"Don't scare me like that," I hissed. "We don't want to wake anyone up. Anyways, why are you wearing a nightgown?"

"Don't want to ruin my outfit for tomorrow," she shrugged. "Well, where are we meeting Shang Tsung again?"

So the both of us went to the location written in my scroll. Finally, we met the old clod near the arena where we had our first battle. There, he was accompanied by the Zaterran, Reptile. Where are the other minions? Probably sleeping or something…

"Boy," the old man sighed. "I have instructed you clearly to bring yourself here. Not you and your…?"

"Sister," Riana answered. I can't help but noticed how Reptile is watching her carefully and then at Kurt on her shoulder. Is he planning to eat her? If he is, I'll make a bag and a pair of gloves out of him!

"I'll be found out eventually," I told Shang Tsung carefully. I know what's he capable of. "So, it's best I tell someone I trust the most to accompany me. Don't worry, my sister is harmless."

"I won't tell anyone," Riana added. "I'm always the secret keeper. It is my duty as a sister to look after my baby brother."

I tried my best not to look at both the sorcerer and the reptilian guard. Did Riana really have to say that? I'm like taller than her despite being two years behind her. But Shang Tsung said nothing but gestured all of us to the portal.

"Very well," he finally answered. "But if she tries to interfere, I won't hesitate to capture her soul and her pet can make a meal for Reptile."

Riana quickly cupped Kurt protectively. "Touch my dragon, I will rip your beard." Riana!

Shang Tsung ignored her threat and led us inside the portal. We followed him until we came to the other side, where everything looks death. Bodies and corpses were seen. Oh god…it's Outworld!

Then that means-

Um, Nash?" Riana tapped my shoulder and then pointed to a body on a slab. The body was half naked, the bandages covering the private parts. Oh…those teeth…My cock is about to be strained through my pants. Despite the hideous teeth, I find this creature drop dead gorgeous.

Did Shang Tsung brought me here to be a test subject?

Oh dear, what has Nash brought himself into? Well, we'll find out in the next chapter. Just to let you know the timeline is a mix of MK9 and MKX. I will be updating this after my exams. So, please tell me what do you think and what else I can do to make this story awesome.

Please review!
