I noticed how there are more views in the drabble chapter. You like drabbles? I'll give you some! YOU GET A DRABBLE! HE GETS A DRABBLE! ALL OF YOU GET DRABBLES!

And a side of lemon too. Never mind, more lemons the better, right? Who knows. Anyways, let's see what our ambassadors are doing in this piece of chapter.

Those answered Kristina's outfit is like Revy from Black Lagoon...give yourself a pat on the back! Yes, in this story there will be more anime references. Better brush up your knowledge on that. And maybe films and tv shows too.

Chapter 11

Third P.O.V

Azril had finished his training with his mentor, the Grandmaster. Ever since he came to the Mortal Kombat world, all he wanted was peace and something that will distract him from life's work. University and work had been hell for him. Coming here was something he did not expect but accepts it anyways.

"Azril?" the voice of his mentor called. Getting up, he went outside to see his mentor gazing at the horizon. The young man sat next to him. Silence was louder than than the howling wind or their breathing. Both master and student didn't say a word. Then, Sub Zero cleared his throat.

"How are you feeling," he inquired. After surviving three fights, he was surprised but impressed at the same time. His disciple had bruises on his face and his limbs. He will not forget how one of the other disciple basically violated his dignity with his 'attack'. He could not imagined how is he friends with Johnny Cage's disciple.

"Fine, Grandmaster," Azril assured his mentor. "I can handle them. We may be friends but I know their weaknesses. Wasn't expecting Bryan to pull a dance on me if that's what you're wondering."

The Lin Kuei master only nodded. He handed him a cup of green tea. Azril gratefully took the cup and sipped. Ironic as it sounds, he's more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker despite working as a barista. But he's glad in his group of friends, Riana also shared his beverage preferences. Coffee is a bit too much for him to handle. Nonetheless, he can do foam arts on both coffee and tea lattes.

"From what I heard," Sub Zero continued. "Your friends said you worked at a cafe. Is this true?" Azril just nodded.

"Yeah, not the best job but at least I could earn a bit of cash. Having my parents pay for my school loans is enough for me. So, I got to help them somehow."

"I see," Sub Zero watched his disciple. He noticed how well he is taking this. Taken from home and was forced to fight to get back, he seemed indifferent with the scenarios around him. But he is interested to know about this foam art he does for the beverages.

"Can you demonstrate your art?" he asked. Azril did not hesitate and goes to the kitchen to get the necessary items he needs to make his foam art. He decided to make a green tea latte. He slowly crafted the drink with his skilled hands, concentrating on the beverage without breaking an eye contact. By the time he finished, he served the cup to the Grandmaster.

"Here's a hot green tea latte," he told his mentor. It had the art picture of a tiny dragon. Suitable since the beverage itself was green and white. Sub Zero was impressed. He never knew someone could do this art within minutes. When he drank his beverage, he gulped the hot drink until the cup was empty.

"This is refine," he told his disciple. "I've never had anything like it."

Azril wished he could go back to his room. He felt flustered from his mentor's praise. But he bowed his head in respect. If he's going to survive in the Mortal Kombat world, he'd better gain some favours. And it starts by grinding leaves and roasting beans.

"Now for your next training," his mentor changed the subject. "You would be sparring with Frost."

When Azril saw the female member, he narrowed his eyes at her as she gave him a glare. No matter if he is back home or at the Lin Kuei, anything could kill him. Even within this place he will soon call 'home'.

"I'd rather do the side quests in Fallout 4 than get under Frost's skin," he muttered.

…

Bryan pulled his hair in frustration. He can't believed how dense Nash was to not use the balloon he gave him. It wasn't an ordinary balloon. He installed a camera and radio inside and if it blew up, the music and camera can record the activities that were carried out in the surroundings.

Hard to believe it but when Bryan gets his hands on anything, he could do the impossible. He could be talking about the new album of Taylor Swift while trying to fix his tape recorder without any supervision. As weird as it may sound, he is very comfortable with his hobby of designing different forms of clothing that could be in the tv series Project Runaway.

"Dammit!" he swore. "If Nash didn't use the balloon I gave him, I'll never turn that video into a porno Blu-Ray disc to give him as a gift. He's gonna need it if that bitch leaves him."

He was in his room where he had everything to himself. If Johnny Cage didn't call him for training, he'll be doing his hobby. If only the room could have a television and an Xbox, maybe staying in this world wouldn't be so bad after all…

"Oh well," he shrugged to himself. "Always find another way. Maybe I'll see if I can pair up Kristina with the guys she fought. Best romance comes from the battlefield, right? Maybe I can hook her up with Big Mac."

Ooh, this is getting good! He rubbed his hands excitedly for a new challenge. Then another idea came into his mind. It was Nash's sister…

"Hmm," he hummed. "She's a hard one to pair up with. Maybe…nah that can't be! She is chunky and is so attached to that pet of hers. I wonder- Oh yeah! I'm definitely pairing her up with that guy…"

Giggling, he decided to play some music while writing out his plans. When Johnny Cage came in to call him for training, he was greeted by his disciple who was lying in a weird angle while Bad Romance by Lady Gaga was playing in the background.

"I'll knock next time."

…

Riana wished Shang Tsung would hurry up. Her body was at their limits. Dodge after dodge, slash after slash she had to endure the Tarkatan princess before Shang Tsung comes back to send her into the portal back to Edenia. In her mind, she's glad that Kurt was left behind.

He'd make an appetiser for Mileena if she brought him here. Shame really. Riana wouldn't mind bringing him if Reptile was the only one here. Speaking of the Zaterran, he was standing by just watching the match. His orders were to make sure neither one of them were killed. It would have been a flaw in the plan, really. So far, she hasn't seen him used his significant weapon which is his acid spit. Does she really want to know if it was corrosive as the game she played with her brother back in their world?

As the match unfurled, Riana had her right leg torn open with blood dripping out. Not too critical but still painful to move around. It was caused by Mileena's sais, which she forgot to blocked. Eventually, Mileena grew tired of her and left her be. But Riana thought it was a proud moment to brag about this to her brother and maybe Kristina. She did give Mileena the black eye.

"I will be glad when your brother comes," the Tarkatan growled savagely. "If I eat and kill you now he will not show up." So she left the young woman on her own in the Flesh Pit. Riana sighed in relief.

"You'd be dead if you let your guard down," the snake-like voice reminded her. Riana walked over to where Reptile was standing. She wondered if he ever gets bored of being ordered around and not have a time of his own. But he's not going to kill her now, right? Oh she wished she would stop thinking of morbid thoughts!

"I am aware of that," she told him. Reptile thought how funny it is that she could almost reach his chest. He never knew any one who could be this short. But this girl, something about her scent is different. There is hostility but there is also a sense of comfort. He didn't know what to make of it or how to react. But if she is no more than another challenger, then he would have used his corrosive acid on her.

"I just hope Shang Tsung would send me back to Edenia," Riana sighed. "I'm worried about my brother and Kurt at the same time. Hope he doesn't do anything stupid."

"Your pet?"

She shook her head and chuckled. "Nah, my brother of course! He can be…lustful at some point with the ladies but he's a good kid. He knows when to quit if things go awry."

"Why do you wear that?" he pointed out to her glasses. Riana simply took them off to show her eyes. They were dark brown.

"I'm near-sighted," she explained. "My glasses helped me to see things far away."

Reptile stepped close towards her, making Riana look up at the Zaterran. Both of them had a small staring contest before Riana placed her glasses back on.

Reptile observed her behaviour. Her bond with her brother was closed. Closer than any siblings he had seen in Outworld. He himself had forgotten if he had close kins or siblings since he is the last of his kind. But by serving the emperor, he hoped his race will resurrect and flourish. And that's all he ever wanted in this world. Though, he doesn't mind this human for company…

"Hey Reptile," she called him which he snapped his head in attention. "While waiting, I'd like a rematch with you."

He simply chuckled. "What would you prove?"

"You'll see," Riana grinned. She got into position. "Ready?"

Reptile's answer was to turn invisible. Again this reminded her of her first battle with him. Oh, she's not going to fall for that trick! After her training, she knows when he might strike. Keeping her fist closed, she listened carefully to his footsteps. Back at the tournament, the cheers and cries of the spectators have distracted her hearing from locating the Zaterran's traces. But here, his steps were clear to her ears.

When she sensed his presence, she grabbed the invisible force which revealed to be the reptilian warrior. Where she grabbed was his torso, in turn knee'd him in the gut. But when he was about to kick, she used one of her fist to crack the bone of his thigh. This made Reptile roar in pain before he was tackled to the ground by the smaller opponent.

Riana quickly clamped his jaws shut, hoping his chameleon tongue wouldn't dart out of his maw again. Also, this can stop him from using his acid. While down on the ground, the young woman was straddling him with both legs pinning his arms. Breathing hard, she looked down at the Zaterran. This is it. She's finally going to win this time!

"Give up," she panted. But something in Reptile's eyes said otherwise. She wasn't aware that he used his good leg to flipped her underneath him. Riana was struggling to get him off of her but the warrior is strong. Noticing how close their faces are, she tried her best not to blush. Reptile growled lowly, leaning close to her cheek.

"Impressive~" he purred. "But not skilled enough to beat me, Earthrealmer."

Riana knew she would be screwed if she doesn't act now. So, she did something she thought it might work but will have afterthoughts later:

She leaned up to kiss his snout.

This caught the Zaterran off guard, allowing Riana to knock him off of her and placed her foot on his throat. She smirks down at was still dazed from the surprise.

"That's payback for licking my cheek!"

"GIRL!" a loud voice hollered. Riana turned her attention to a pissed off Shang Tsung. She quickly step off the Zaterran to give him some air. She approached the old sorcerer.

"Yes?" she asked.

"About time I send you back," he told her. "Tell your brother if he doesn't show by tomorrow, I will end the both of you." Riana simply nodded before the old man teleported her back to the palace. It took her a while to get up since she is exhausted.

"Wow," she laughed to herself. "This is going to be one hell of a bedtime story for Kurt. I wonder how little bro is doing…"

At least Azril wouldn't have any financial problems. But why can't you smile? Bryan, what are you up to? Riana, Kristina, beware of Bryan! He's going into stalker mode soon! Well this turns out well, our little disciples having their little adventures.

Stay tune for the next chapter and please review!
