What's this, another chapter? Who would have thought! And in third person too. Reason? I would like to know how the other disciples feel about living in the Mortal Kombat world. I'm sure you and I would love to live there with all the fighting, killing, hot characters we could date, etc. But let's see what these three would think.
Chapter 7
3rd P.O.V
Kristina would never had thought she would be living under the same roof with her favourite Mortal Kombat character. Sure, it's not a hotel-like experience but at least she gets a room for her own private needs. Here, she's taking a break after a little training with her mentor, Sheeva.
Sure she's a giant four-armed lady, but Kristina took the training like it was nothing. She will not understand how Bryan or Nash refuse to follow her to parks for a jog, letting the breeze caress your face while running. Hell, the only person she recognised at the parks was Riana. And she's overweight to begin with!
Yet Kristina remembered how Riana is physically strong which made up for her lack of speed. While training, she's thinking about what her friends are doing. She was so distracted, she didn't see a fist coming into her direction.
BIFF!
The girl clutched her stomach before glaring at her four-armed mentor. "What the hell was that for?!"
"Weren't you even listening?" Sheeva asked. "I called you three times but you were drifting. So I decided to see if you would react if I use one of my punches. Apparently, you were too slow." She squatted down to take a good look at her disciple.
"You're thinking," she stated. "Is it about your so called 'friends'?"
Kristina blinked. "What do you mean 'so called friends'? They ARE my friends! Sure we don't have the same interests but we stick together. Yeah, even Nash's sister is part of the team. I'm just thinking about what are they doing right now."
"Training," Sheeva answered bluntly. "The same thing we are doing. But by watching them at the tournament, I don't think the three of them will ever survive. Especially that skinny four-eyes who screamed his way to defeat."
Kristina couldn't help but chuckle at the memory of Bryan screaming his way to defeat while battling Goro. It was funny but it would be scary to see him dismembered in front of the Shaolin. Despite his attitude, Bryan is another friend who accepted Kristina as who she is other than Nash. "Bryan may seemed like a pussy," Kristina sighed. "But be careful if you have any device or fabric. I am serious! He can build a little gadget that could wipe our minds out while wearing the latest trend of shirt at the same time! Don't get me started on his dancing skills."
"You're exaggerating."
"I'm not!" Kristina shook her head, smiling. "As much as it is unbelievable, Bryan is pretty much alright once you get to know him."
Sheeva smirked at her disciple. "And do you have romantic feelings for this boy?" This made Kristina flabbergasted.
"What?! Me and Bryan? Blech!" she stuck her tongue out in disgust. She couldn't imagined Bryan as a boyfriend material in general. All people would see him as a weirdo with a fascination for the latest trend whether it is a gadget or fashion. Sometimes, she will admit the fact he has a better taste in clothing than any preppy girl she knew. Sheeva kneeled down to her disciple's level.
"You want to visit them?" she asked. Kristina nodded. "Yeah…I just want to make sure they're okay and not do something stupid that will cause a mass destruction to the world."
The four-armed warrior chuckled. "Well, we are suppose to meet up at the dojo tomorrow for practice. Maybe we will meet them there. If not, I can take you to the Outworld market. You might bump into your friends there."
The young girl broke into a grin. If they are going to be there-
"Let's get back to training!" she announced enthusiastically. "I'm gonna kick their ass tomorrow! Especially Bryan! He better be prepared!" She was than greeted with an upcoming uppercut for which she dodged it in time.
"Good," Sheeva nodded in approval. "Now that you are paying attention, let's continue."
…
Meanwhile at the Cage HQ, Bryan instantly made himself comfortable around his mentor. The HQ had everything he ever dreamt of but was restricted to touch anything since Cage told him he'll be focusing on hand-to-hand combat.
"But Johnny!" Bryan whined. " I can barely punch a dough! How am I going to survive this realm? This is all Nash's fault! He was the one who brought us into this mess in the first place. I could still be at home playing Just Dance 2017 on my Xbox but nooooo! Nash just had to-"
"Hold on," Cage paused Bryan from ranting further. "You can dance?"
Bryan scoffs. "Uh yeah? Can't you see I have the figure? I can even do strip plastic better than those 'professionals'. Hey, maybe if I see Nash and Kristina, maybe that sister of his- I'll twerk them off!" He then demonstrated it in front of him.
Johnny Cage has seen a lot of weird stuff ever since he came to the tournament. Nothing came close to what he just saw: Bryan twerking before taking off his shirt and tossing it away. Let's not forget his daughter and her team were also watching him in the background!
"Dad, are you serious?" Cassie Cage asked in disbelief. She knows her father had some interesting things to show her. This…was not something she's expecting.
"I'm going to be sick," her friend Jacqui Briggs crinkled her nose in disgust. Honestly, what kind of guy does this?
"He's going to be mince meat," Takeda commented. How is this so called disciple going to survive? Hell, he can't imagine himself collaborating with him or even letting him be part of the Special Forces unit.
"Does he even know how to use any weapon?" Kung Jin asked. "Gotta admit, he's got skills in dancing. A bit scrawny but still alright." This made Cassie, Jacqui and Takeda stare at him.
After his demonstration, Bryan was all sweaty and panting. "So, what'cha think? Pretty cool, huh? Though I can show you my strip-"
"I think we all have seen enough," Cage interrupted him again. He didn't really want to see his disciple doing a strip plastic. "You know Bryan, you don't look like a fighting material. We can fix that but this…maybe you can use it as an advantage."
Bryan stared at him with wide eyes behind his glasses. "You mean I can twerk my way to victory? Prepare your butts 'cause I'm coming for them!" He could hear one of the members of the Forces coughing. Probably a good thing.
"Yeah…" Boy, this training is going to be interesting.
…
Back at the Flesh Pits, Riana watched her brother 'train' with the new Takartan named Mileena. Knowing her brother, he might think using his little friend more than his actual head. Sometimes she will imagine that to be his downfall one day. Sighing, she turned her attention to an unlikely pair that made her smile a little:
Her bearded dragon Kurt was resting on Reptile's arm lazily. Usually, Kurt is comfortable on anything that is warm. Gently approaching the pair, she strokes the spiny lizard's back. A chuckle was heard.
"He's very calm in a situation like this," the Zaterran commented. Kurt responded by climbing up to his shoulder before snuggling into the crook of his neck.
"Aww, how sweet!" Riana coos at her lizard's display of affection. "Kurt usually tolerates strangers but he's taking a liking to you." This made the little pet twitch his tail in excitement.
"He does," Reptile carefully unlatched the lizard from his neck before handing him over to Riana. "And he seems well fed and content. You cared for him?"
"Of course! He's my sweet baby~" This made Reptile stare at her in confusion. He couldn't fathom how a woman could love a cold-blooded creature not only as a pet but as her own child. This is unexpected of him.
"Aren't you afraid?" he asked while watching her petting Kurt. Riana shook her head. "Not anymore. But now I am just thinking of a plan to cover up both of us when we get back to Edenia. If only my little brother knows what he is doing. Most of the time, he just wings it. Also his libido will control him eventually."
"Your little brother?" the Zaterran tilted his head. "But he's taller and so much bigger than you." This made Riana give him an glare. He simply chuckle. "Well sorry I can't passed 5'3 in height."
Both of them were silent before paying attention to watch Mileena fight against me. I am so tired that when I get back, I want to sleep until my body is satisfied. But how can I when I have this vixen on top of me?
"You look exhausted~" Mileena purred. "Maybe I can help ease you from that?"
Before I could answer, Riana stormed up to us and shoved her away from me. "Not a chance. He's only here to be your sparring partner not a fuck buddy."
"Riana!" I gasped. Even I could see Reptile's eyes becoming twice their size. But Mileena only smirked. "Oh but he'll be a man for sure~ Don't you want that? Your brother to be mature?"
"Enough!" a voice barked which made all of us turned in the same direction. It was the old clod, Shang Tsung. He walked slowly towards us before forcing me to stand up.
"Boy, your work is done here," he told me. "I want you and your sister to never speak of this ever again." With that, he instantly teleported me and my sister back to the palace. God, I feel sick! Riana got up slowly with Kurt clinging on to her back.
We both looked at each other. We knew we have to be careful with our words. Even if we are staying with our mentors, anything or anyone can kill us without remorse.
Still, if my brother was in that situation I would just leave him and see if he could figure it out for himself. Also, I guessed this is a drabble but hey, we might see more of our disciples interact with other characters and each other in the future.
Tell me what do you think and please review!
