CHAPTER VI

SUSPICION, DECEPTION AND LOVE

Morning had arrived sooner than expected, as Mileena woke up from her beautiful dream.

While taking her time to prepare herself, having a quick breakfast and dressed into on a violet long dress, the princess and heiress of the throne of Outworld thought about sharing her first time with her sister Kitana.

Despite they were sisters, Mileena and Kitana had always felt that they were more than just sisters and now since last night, after her and Kitana's secret meeting with the ghost Earthrealmers in the Resort, they shared their first time after embracing their feelings for each other and have become lovers. As a romantic relationship between sisters was taboo in Outworld, Mileena feared the worst what will happen to them once their affair would be discovered. But if that would happen, Mileena vowed she would fight for their love, even embracing the tortures that they would have to go through.

Just then, there was a knock on her door. Thinking it was maybe Kitana, Mileena smiled bright as she went to the door "Coming!"

But as soon as she opened the door, her smile faded when she saw it was her mother, Sindel.

"Oh… mother."

Sindel walked inside, wandering while she rubs her chin "You're awfully in a good mood today, daughter."

Mileena became nervous "Oh… uhm… I was… just…"

"Did something happen which I am not aware of, Mileena?" Sindel asked while walking in a circle around her daughter.

Mileena slowly shook her head while nervously twiddle her fingers "Uhm… no," she lied "I was just… I had a good sleep last night, that's all."

"Really?" Sindel wandered, which made Mileena nod. Sindel became a bit suspicious "I wanted to talk to you last night about what happened to you after your father's 'outburst', but strangely I couldn't find you in your room, nor did anyone in the palace seen you. And when I noticed that your sister was gone too, I was this close to call a search."

"I… I'm sorry, mother," Mileena apologized.

"So tell me: Where have you gone to last night?" Sindel asked, now with a more stern tone. Mileena felt really nervous "You wouldn't dare to lie to your own mother, would you, my dear?"

Mileena shook her head "No! No, of course not."

"Then tell me where you've gone to, Mileena."

"I…" Mileena tried to find an excuse "I was going for a night walk, outside the palace."

"A night walk?" Sindel asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes," Mileena kept lying while stating "I needed some fresh air… after all the commotion with father after I lost my match in the tournament. Kitana noticed where I was going, so she… followed me. When I saw she followed me, I told why I was taking a walk and… she offered to join me. We've been talking for a long time and… nearly forgot about the time."

Sindel narrowed her eyes, sensing that something wasn't right about what Mileena told her and wasn't completely honest.

But then Sindel formed a little smile as she softly stroke her daughter's cheek, moving through her Tarkatan features "Well… next don't go out for too long in the middle of the night, alright? I hate it to see if anything bad happens to my little girl."

Mileena rolled her eyes "Mother, I'm a grownup women. I am not a child anymore."

That made Sindel to frown at her "Now don't you roll your eyes on me like that, young lady. Even though you're a grownup women, you're still and always will be a princess of Outworld, and your father expects you to keep up in line," she then held Mileena's chin tight, looking serious at her "And so do I. Do you understand?"

Seeing her stern look, send some fear in Mileena. She gave a nod "Yes, mother…"

"Good," Sindel said while letting go of her daughter's chin and formed a little smile, before she gestured "Now, put on your fighting outfit. Your father will be expecting you to join us at the Kolosseum."

Confused, Mileena asked her mother before she walked out of her room "But, mother… I lost my match against the Earthrealmers. There's no reason for me to-"

Sindel again glanced with a serious look on her face at her daughter "But you do! Despite your loss at the tournament, your father still expects you to be at his side, as what is expected of a princess."

Seeing that her mother was right, Mileena nodded "Yes mother."

Once Sindel had walked out of her room, Mileena stripped out of her long dress and puts on her cleavage fighting outfit. After taking her two Sais, Mileena walked out of her room, joining with the other Outworld warriors to the Kolosseum.


However, in the Tower, Kano and his Black Dragon mercenaries were carrying big crates from a portal and placed them inside the armory deep below.

Kabal was the last to exit the portal, carrying a big crate by himself and placed it with the rest "There. That's the last of 'em." He told Kano, who was standing next to Shang Tsung.

As the evil sorcerer was curious to what Kano had delivered for him, the Black Dragon leader kicked one of the crates open, revealing dozens of machine guns inside. Then Kano opened another crate, revealing dozens of rocket launchers inside.

"Impressive." Shang Tsung said while he stroke his beard.

Kano smirked as he took one of the rocket launchers and loaded it "With a whole army totin' these no one in Outworld or Earthrealm could stand up to you." He then demonstrated its firepower as he aimed at one of the big statues in the room and fired its rocket to it, destroying it instantly along with a whole wall!

Shang Tsung gave a nod as he took a look at a few of the guns "Well done. You may tell your fellow Black Dragon back in Earthrealm that my emperor will be very interested to buy your merchandise. Armed with these weapons, Shao Kahn's inevitable invasion on Earthrealm will go smoothly."

Kabal was surprised to hear this from Shang Tsung and asked Kano "Invasion? But, Outworld hasn't even won yet the tournament."

Kano glared at Kabal for being so stupid for not seeing the big picture "So what? At least we'll make a big amount of money by selling these weapons to Outworld," Kano rolled his eyes "Shao Kahn is no different than our other clients back on Earth: Warlords, terrorist cells, mafia, Triads, it doesn't matter who buys the weapons, as long as the money keeps flowing." Kano noticed that Kabal was feeling somehow uncomfortable about this "You're not getting soft on me, are ya?"

Kabal shook his head "No, Kano. As long as I'm getting paid, I don't complain."

"Good." Kano formed a smirk, seeing that his partner wasn't against this. But then Kano glared at a Tarkatan, who took a look at one of the guns and aimed at Kano's head. Kano snatched the gun from its hands "That is no toy, you idiot!"

Shang Tsung then told them "It is time to return to the tournament. My soldiers will take care of the rest."

Kano puts the gun down and followed Shang Tsung out of the tower, with Kabal and the other Black Dragon's behind him.


Meanwhile…

(Outworld – Beach Resort)

Danny, Ember and Skulker had just joined with Sub-Zero and a few Shaolin monks before they would leave for the next stage of the tournament, waiting for the other Earthrealm warriors to arrive.

After 10 minutes of waiting, Cyrax, Chan, Sektor and Smoke joined the others, along with the other Lin Kuei assassins.

Ember wandered while checking around "Where the heck are Kitty and Johnny?"

Danny shook his head "I have no idea. They should be here by now. I'll go and check on them," Danny said as he walked to Johnny and Kitty's hut.

As Kitty has now forgiven Johnny 13, she allowed him to move into her hut.

When Danny arrived at their hut, he called "Johnny? Kitty? Are you guys ready or not? We're about to leave for the-"

But as soon as he approached the door, he could hear Kitty moaning out loud "AAAH! AH AH AH AH! YES! YES! YES! FUCK ME, JOHNNY! FILL MY PUSSY WITH YOUR HOT SEED, YEEEAH!"

"Ooooh, Kitty! I… I'm gonna – I'm gonna…!"

"AAAAAAAAAAH!" Kitty moaned as they both climaxed at the same time, with Johnny 13 releasing his seed inside her vagina, filling her womb with his sperm.

Danny turned red after hearing Kitty and Johnny were having very passionate morning sex. As he heard them both panting, trying to catch their breaths, Danny knocked on the door "Johnny? Kitty?"

Kitty gasped and called back "Oooh, uhm...! We're coming! Just give us a minute!"

Danny could hear both of them swearing and quickly rushed to get themselves dressed. Danny couldn't help but to chuckle while he waited for them.

As Danny sat on a chair, he rolled his eyes "Hopefully they'll be able to control their hormones while the tournament is being played out?" he asked himself.

5 minutes later, Johnny opened the front door, coming out while putting his fighting jacket on and his headband. Kitty then joined while putting her boots on. Danny saw that both Johnny's and Kitty's hair was messy. Danny chuckled as he stood up while his ghost friends approached him, both looking embarrassed.

Danny ensured them as he raised his hand "Hey, whatever you two are doing in the morning, is none of my business. Now let's go."

Johnny 13 and Kitty followed Danny. Johnny and Kitty held hands while Kitty rest her head on his shoulder.

Just then, a few female servants bypassed them, clearly going to clean Kitty and Johnny's hut. But as the female servants entered the hut, both gasped as how messy it looked with nearly all the furniture broken, the bed nearly having broken the wall and lots of clothes were spread around the floor, even inside it smelled like sweat and sex. The servants sighed deep, knowing they had A LOT of cleaning to do.

After the carriage ride, all the Earthrealmers arrived at the Kolosseum and entered the same big balcony, seeing once again a hundred-thousand Outworld citizens cheering.

Several trumpets sounded as Shao Kahn and Sindel walked on the balcony of the Outworld warriors. As Sindel sat on her throne, Shao Kahn raised his hands and said "Welcome all to the second round of Mortal Kombat! Are you ready to see death and glory?!"

All the citizens cheered.

While nobody was looking, Mileena, who stood next to Kitana, reached her hand to Kitana's and began to held it. For a moment, Kitana was scared that somebody would notice, but upon feeling the sweet touch of Mileena, she began to feel relaxed and safe as their fingers slowly interlocked.

For a short moment, Mileena and Kitana shared a glance to each other, both forming a small smile.

But as soon as Mileena saw that Jade was turning her head over to them, Mileena quickly released Kitana's hand. Seeing her short shocked expression, Kitana quickly looked the other way.

Jade however had already seen for a short second that her two best friends were holding hands, making her worried 'Oh, Kitana… Mileena… please hold yourselves!' she mentally begged before glancing back to watch Shao Kahn announcing the first fight. 'If your father or anyone else would finds out there's no telling what they'll do to you both.' Jade nearly had to cry, to even think of what Shao Kahn and Outworld would do to her two best friends, who were sisters and now having turned into secret lovers.

At that moment, Kotal walked over to Jade. Wandering why she was looking worried, Kotal asked his lover "Is something bothering you, Jade?"

Jade tried to look normal and shook her head before glancing at Kotal "No, Kotal… nothing's wrong."

Though Kotal wasn't so sure if what said was true, he trusted his lover and gave a nod as they listened to Shao Kahn's announcement.

With Shang Tsung this time not present, as he's now in charge of security, Shao Kahn himself told the crowd "For the first match on the second round of Mortal Kombat, fighting on behalf of Outworld, the new warrior, ERMAC!"

The creation of Shang Tsung stepped forward while the crowd cheered.

The ghost warriors exchanged a confused look (except for Skulker) "New warrior?" Kitty asked "Is that even allowed?!"

Raiden gave a nod and explained "Yes. During the tournament, both Earthrealm and Outworld are allowed to add new warriors to their team. But, to make sure this wouldn't be taken for granted, the Elder Gods made sure that adding new warriors to either teams could only be used once, and a maximum of 5 warriors can be added."

Danny crossed his arms "Guess we've missed that part of the rules of the tournament. But, are we allowed to add new warriors to our team as well?"
"Yes, Daniel, we are. But for now, best is to focus on the new opponents you'll be facing before I can make that decision." Raiden said.

Shao Kahn then called who will be Ermac's opponent "Fighting on behalf of Earthrealm: the Lin Kuei assassin, Chan!"

Chan gave a nod as he glanced to Sub-Zero, who patted his shoulder "Good luck, Chan," and then said the Lin Kuei's creed "Be stealthful as the night..."

Chan gave a small bow "… and deadly as the dawn."

Danny gave him a thumps up, which earned a nod from Chan.

Raiden then advised Chan "Be wary, Chan Xan. He is unlike anything you have ever fought before."

Chan nodded at the Thunder God, taking his advice as he walked down the stairs, entering the arena floor.

As Ermac floated in the air and slowly landed down on the arena floor, Danny's ghost sense suddenly went off as a blue mist escaped his mouth, shocking him. But this ghost warning was different, as if a whole army of ghosts was right at where Ermac stood "What the?! How can… is that warrior Ermac, a ghost!?" this shocked expression from Danny, even shocked Ember, Johnny and Kitty.

Danny felt some kind of headache coming cause of Ermac, which worried Ember "Babypop? Are you alright?"

Danny shook his head "I don't know. It's like… I can sense… hundreds of ghosts coming from Ermac. What the hell is he?!"

Raiden could sense the energy coming from Ermac, and stated "He isn't a ghost like from Earthrealm, Daniel. This thing, was created with the souls of thousands of warriors from the past, all fussed into one body. And yes, he's most likely also infused with ecto-plasmic energy."

"But how is that even possible?" Johnny wandered "How the heck did Shao Kahn even get any dead ghost's souls?"

Raiden shook his head "I don't know, Johnny 13."

On the arena floor, Chan got in his fighting stance as Ermac got into his "No matter what you are, I will defeat you!" Chan said confident.

The created ghost warrior of Shang Tsung then said, seemingly with multiple voices "We are many. You are one. We will destroy you."

FIGHT!

Chan began to attack with several kicks at Ermac's chest and face, hitting him a few times, making him taking a few steps back before being able to block Chan's last kick and fired a big green ghost ray at Chan, hitting him head on, making him roll backwards across the arena floor!

Chan quickly got up and threw several throwing ninja stars at Ermac, but the Outworld ghost warrior managed to stop them just inches from him, by just using his mind!

Chan looked in shock before Ermac used his telekinesis power to throw all the ninja stars back at Chan, who was able to block a few, but two of them hit him in the chest and one in his left hand!

While Chan tried to collect himself, Ermac charged in with a summersault kick, hitting Chan hard in the face, sending him flying backwards hard, hitting the arena wall! Ermac then used his telekinesis power to lift up Chan and made him hit the floor hard 3 times before throwing him upwards and Ermac jumped high and kicked Chan hard in the chest, sending him flying hard back to the ground, making him yell in pain

The ghost warriors looked in shock of what happened "Holy shit! That… Ermac lifted Chan, BY JUST USING HIS FUCKIGN MIND!" Johnny yelled, being horrified of what he saw.

Cyrax called out to Chan "Focus, Chan!"

Chan, though having several bleeding wounds on his body, drew his Chinese sword and charged in on Ermac. As he delivered several strikes on Ermac, the Outworld ghost warrior managed to deflect Chan's attacks and then kicked Chan hard on the jaw, nearly breaking it, making him to lose his sword! Ermac used his mind to grab the sword and stabbed Chan in the back, exiting from his chest!

Shao Kahn chuckled to see how successful Ermac was at winning this fight "Shang Tsung sure has brought up a formidable warrior."

For a whole minute, while the other Lin Kuei and Danny and Ember called to Chan that he still could win, it was all to no avail as Chan was constantly beaten back by Ermac till he was so bruised up and having many bleeding wounds he fell on his knees while he coughed up some blood.

Sub-Zero shook his head, knowing what was about to happen to Chan "No…"

Shao Kahn smirked evilly as the Lin Kuei assassin was defeated and ordered Ermac "Good. Now… FINISH HIM!"

Obeying his emperor, Ermac lifted Chan up high in the air using his telekinesis power and used his mind to make his limps stretch out. Chan screamed in agonizing pain… before Ermac used his telekinesis to rip off Chan's arms, legs and head off before squashing it together with Chan's remains!

The Earthrealm warriors gasped in horror.

Whatever was left of Chan fell on the arena floor in a big squished pile of body parts and organs, splatting down while gallons of blood floated around it.

ERMAC WINS!

FATALITIY

The crowd cheered as Outworld has won their first match.

Sektor slammed his fist on the railing in anger, as Chan was a childhood friend of his and cursed the creation Ermac "Damn him! He will pay for what he'd done!"

Sub-Zero, though he feels bad for losing a great assassin like Chan, placed his hand on Sektor's shoulder, calming him down "I know it's hard, Sektor. But Chan knew for what he signed for when he joined us in the tournament. His sacrifice will not be in vain."

Ember held Danny's hand tightly as watching Chan being slaughtered by Ermac was horrible to watch. Danny held her close, feeling the same.

After Chan's remains were cleared from the arena floor, Shao Kahn announced the next battle, which was one of the Shaolin monks versus Montaro.

Though the fight was intense, the Shaolin monk was no match against the Centaur general and was knocked unconscious after many fierce attacks.

The crowd kept cheering as Shao Kahn called "Winner, Montaro!"

The centaur roared in victory while leaving the arena floor. A few other Shaolin carried their knocked out brother away from the arena floor, leaving him to rest on one of the big couches.

Shao Kahn chuckled as he called out to Raiden, mocking him "C'mon now, Lord Raiden. Are these the best fighters you have to offer?"

Some of the Outworld warriors chuckled and a few laughed.

Raiden however was not letting himself being intimidated by the Outworld emperor "The tournament is far from over, Shao Kahn."

Sindel added while she chuckled "It might as well be."

Not long after, it was Ember's turn to fight. After she and Danny shared a short kiss, Ember entered the arena floor, ready to whoever she was going to fight this time.

She glared at Shao Kahn "Well? What else you gut up your sleeve, besides from your regularly mocking and intimidating?"

Shao Kahn evilly smirked "Oh, I'm sure you'll like your next opponent, Ember McLain," he then called her fighter to enter the arena floor "The Black Dragon leader, KANO!"

From the gate, Kano entered, while his bionic eye glowed red and formed a smirk as he gave her a blow kiss "Hello, baby. Did you miss?"

Ember frowned upon seeing the Black Dragon leader "Not in the slightest, dipstick."

"Oh, but you will be, once I'm done with you. In fact, I've been looking for this moment." Kano said as he walked up to her and drew his raptor knife "Ooooh, now look at this," he said as he looked at his blade "This little baby brings back some good old memories. So many throats I cut with this one."

Ember formed a small grin on her face while getting in her fighting stance "You think you can scare me with a bitch knife like that? I've seen scarier ones than those."

Kano chuckled evilly "Oh, you'll love it, I'm sure. It never got the chance to fuck a ghost. Why don't you come over and get to know him better?" he asked while pointing his knife to her while he smirked.

"Not before I stick it up your ass."

Again, Kano chuckled and got in his fighting stance.

FIGHT!

Kano swing his raptor knife, attempting to hit Ember, but she easily dodged the first swing and blocked the second one by grabbing his arm and attempted to punch Kano hard, only for him to grab her other arm, making him grin "Give it up, baby. I studied all your moves before you even joined the tournament."

"Yeah, study THIS!" Ember then kicked Kano hard in the chest and grabbed her guitar, slamming a fierce uppercut at Kano's jaw, making him fall backwards!

The crowd started to cheer, seeing they were going to see another great fight of Ember McLain.

Kano quickly got up as he glared at Ember as he threw a punch at her, which she deflected with her guitar and counterattacked with a punch of her own, followed with a kick right in the face!

Kitty cheered for Ember as she raised her fists "Whoohoo! Get him, girl!"

Kano however got furious while his bionic eye glowed an even brighter red light. Just as Ember jumped high and deliver a blow on Kano with her guitar, Kano suddenly blasts a red laser from his bionic eye, hitting Ember in her right arm, causing her to lose her guitar! Ember fell hard on the ground. She tried to quickly stand up while rubbing her injured right arm, but was then met with a fierce punch from Kano in the cheek, causing her to trip backwards and Kano delivered a kneecap right in Ember's stomach!

While Ember groaned in pain backwards, Kano delivered several punches in her face and then delivered a fierce uppercut, hitting her nose!

Danny shouted at Ember "Go, Ember, you can do it!"

Though Kano could use this opportunity to deliver more strikes on Ember, the Black Dragon leader instead mocked her arrogantly as he placed his hands on his hips, while Ember got back up while rubbing her nose, seeing it was bleeding.

Kano challanged her to come a bit closer to her "C'mon, baby. Come to daddy."

Ember growled at Kano before she spit out some blood. Then, she noticed her guitar was lying several feet behind Kano. Ember formed a small smirk before she used her ghost powers to lift up her guitar and swinged it to her, making it hit Kano hard at the back of his head before Ember caught it! She then swang her guitar like a sword and smacked Kano right in the head before blasting him with a purple ghost ray from her guitar, which hit him hard and send him flying backwards and rolled across the arena floor.

Kano was now even more furious and fired a big laser beam from his eye while he roared "GGRRAAAAAAAAH!"

Ember managed to avoid the laser in the nick of time, and the laser only hit the wall. While Kano fired more laser beams at Ember, she dodged his attacks till she slide down from him, spreading sand in his face, distracting him as she hit him with her guitar on his left shoulder, breaking his shoulder blade and collarbone, making his left arm nearly useless!

"AAAARGH!" Kano yelled in pain "YOU… BITCH!" and attempted to fire another laser beam at her, but Ember acted quickly and fired a ghost ray from her right hand right onto his bionic eye, nearly destroying it, causing even more hurt on Kano "AAAAARGH! NOT AGAIN!"

And with a full swing, Ember hit him with her guitar right in the nuts, hitting Kano greatly!

"Oooooooh!" both Danny and Johnny 13 called, knowing how bad it hurts when a guy gets hit in the balls.

Kano grunts as he falls on his knees, holding his testicles as how hurt it felt. He gasped before he vomited. He coughed before saying "You… fucking… bitch!" He glanced at her. Ember smirked at him before she took something from her pocket, revealing to be Kano's raptor knife, having taken it without Kano's knowledge.

Kano's eyes went wide "Oh, shit…"

Just as the crowd thought that Ember was gonna use Kano's own knife to finish him, she however swing the knife so fast across Kano's face, she scratched his forehead with the Danny Phantom logo! She then kicked him hard in the face, causing him to fall backwards on the floor.

EMBER WINS!

Ember forms a smirk "Who's your daddy now?" she then pressed her boot hard against Kano's throat, making him nearly suffocate. She leaned closer to him, warning him "Next time, I'll fucking rip your balls off." And then made her right hand glow purple while holding Kano's razor knife and vaporized Kano's favorite knife.

As she took her foot off of Kano's throat, causing him to gasp for air while he coughed, Ember walked away and was about to go back to join her boyfriend and her fellow team members while the crowd cheered for Ember for winning another fight "EMBER! EMBER! EMBER! EMBER! EMBER!"

Hearing them say her name out loud send some power through Ember she hadn't felt for some time and made her flaming hair grow in size, making her sigh while forming a grin on her face "Oh yeah, now THAT really brings back some good old memories," and walked up the stairs, entering the balcony of her team.

Ember was met with a hug from Danny and kissed her, which she returned.

The other Earthrealm warriors congratulated Ember for her victory while she used a towel to clean off the green blood from her wounds, while Skulker just narrowed his eyes and looked away.

Kano was being dragged off the arena floor, while he cursed Ember "Fucking bitch…! That fucking BITCH!"

Shao Kahn, though disappointed in Kano's performance, told with a stern look to the other Black Dragon mercenary, Kabal, who was about to take some wine "Kabal. You're next."

Seeing Shao Kahn's very serious face, made him to nod as he puts his golden wine goblet back on the table "Alright." He then grabs his two hookswords and went down the stairs leading to the arena floor.

Shao Kahn then spoke as Kabal entered the arena floor "Fighting against the Black Dragon mercenary Kabal… the Earthrealm ghost, Kitty!"

Kitty was more than ready and just gave a nod as she made it to the stairs leading down. Ember gave her a pat on the shoulder while the others wished her good luck. Johnny 13 stopped her for a moment and held her close to him, planting a kiss on her lips. Kitty smiled after the kiss and told her boyfriend "Better behave yourself while I'm gone."

"No worries, Kitten. I was intend to do that," he ensured her.

"You better." Kitty said before going down the stairs, facing Kabal.

Though the fight was intense and Kabal was using his superhuman speed to his advantage, Kitty used her training with Smoke to the fullest and teleported lots of times away, delivering several kicks and punches on Kabal.

There were a few close calls that Kabal was winning as he slashed his hookswords with amazing speed at Kitty, but then Kitty kicked one hooksword up, making Kabal to lose it, Kitty grabbed it in the air, teleported away and stabbed Kabal right in the back!

Kabal fell forward. While he tried to get up, he pulled the hooksword from his back, which hurt him as he was bleeding bad.

For a short moment, Kabal was unsure if he should keep fighting. He then shook his head "Ugh, fuck it. I give up." He said while holding his hand up, signaling he yield.

That Kabal surrendered made Shao Kahn frown and hit his fist on the side of his throne in anger.

Kitty gave a nod as he told Kabal "Good thing you did yield. I don't think you could've lasted any longer with a wound like that."

"Yeah, no thanks to you," Kabal said while rolling his eyes, but then he formed a small smile "It was a good fight. Good luck. You and your friends are gonna need it."

That Kabal surprisingly was a bit nice towards her, made Kitty to smile back at him "Thanks." And both walked out of the arena floor.

As Kitty returned with the others, Johnny wandered "What were you talking about with that Black Dragon?"

Kitty gave a shrug "Nothing much. I just told him it was for the best he gave up as he would maybe have died if he kept fighting with such a bad wound," she then crossed her arms and formed a grin as she asked her boyfriend "Jealous?"

"What? No! No, of course not!"

Kitty giggled cause of seeing her boyfriend's expression.

Next was a female Lin Kuei assassin fighting against the Shokan warrior Sheeva, which turned into a formidable fight which lasted for 10 minutes. But in the end, Sheeva proved to be far more stronger and with her four fists she delivered a series of fierce punches on her opponent. And with a strong uppercut, Sheeva punched the Lin Kuei women into the air, grabbed her by the leg and smacked her down the arena floor five times before tossing her into the arena wall, breaking several bones of her!

Nearly motionless, the Lin Kuei women lied on the floor.

"Finish her!" Shao Kahn ordered.

Sheeva obeyed and grabbed her opponent tight and with a swift move, she ripped off the Lin Kuei women's skin off, making her scream in agonizing pain before Sheeva stamped the women's skull, crushing it beneath her feet!

Sindel formed a grin on her face, being pleased with her bodyguard's performance and gave a small clap for her.

Sheeva made a bow before her empress.

Another Shaolin monk was then facing D'Vorah, who was stronger than him. While the Shaolin monk did his best, D'vorah was much faster.

As the Shaolin monk was about to deliver a punch, D'Vorah easily avoided it before she summoned a Vortex Swarm, knocking her opponent into the air, D'Vorah flew up using her bug wings and delivered a fierce kick right in his chest, sending him down and crashed hard on the arena floor, crushing his whole spine in the process!

Being barely able to move, D'Vorah showed no mercy and summoned two ovipositors from her back and stabbed him right through the chest, ripping his heart out and then summons a swarm of wasps from her hands, which send them fly to her opponents head and devoured his flesh! The monk screamed in agonizing pain, before the wasps left behind only his skull. The monk fell down forward, dead.

"Winner, D'Vorah!" Shao Kahn called.

The Kytinn women smirked as she glanced to the Earthrealm warriors before flying up using her wings and rejoined the other Outworld warriors.

The ghost warriors were disgusted by what D'Vorah was capable of. Kitty whispered to Johnny 13 "Remind me to take my bugs spray if I ever gonna face her."

However, the entire time, Skulker was smirking to watch these Outworld warriors win from their opponents 'Oh yes. These are the kind of opponents that I was looking for.'

Ember shook her head to watch the other Earthrealm warriors being defeated by these new more stronger opponents and felt some fear grow inside her. Danny placed his arm around her, holding her close, which she deeply appreciated and formed a smile as she looked at her boyfriend.

Then, Shao Kahn stood up from his throne and pointed his finger towards the biker-ghost "Johnny 13! You'll fight next!"

Johnny 13 raised an eyebrow, before he frowned and cracked his knuckles "Alright, Shit Kahn. I'm ready whatever you're gonna throw at me." He then glanced at the other fighters, who all gave him an ensuring nod, while Danny gave him a thumps up.

Johnny 13 and Kitty shared a kiss before Kitty said with a bit of worry "Please get out of there alive."

Johnny 13 ensured his girlfriend "I was planning to."

Kitty thought of something and formed a little grin as she whispered in his ear "If you come back alive in one piece, I'll let you do with me whatever you fucking want."

This made Johnny 13 look with surprise.

"Go get 'em, tiger." Kitty gave him a wink.

Feeling more motivated, Johnny 13 smiled as he went down the stairs, entering the arena floor.

As the door opened from the Outworld side, Johnny saw someone he'd never expected to face: The Naknada slave trader, Kollector.

Kollector walked up the arena floor, looking with anger at Johnny 13 as he "You! You made me to lose profit!"

Johnny 13 however formed a smirk "You lose profit? Heck, I gave you a bag full of gold. Wasn't it enough for you, or something?"

"You ruined my reputation, ghost! Now you shall repay for losing profit… with your life!" Kollector said as he drew several blades and a Chained Mace.

As Johnny 13 got in his fighting stance, he could hear some people in the crowd cheering for him "Whoooo! Go Johnny 13!" Johnny looked, and saw in the crowd the former slave girl, Izana, her mother and many of the slaves that he'd freed yesterday from Kollector. Johnny formed a smile and gave them a thumps up before going back into his fighting stance and glared at the Naknada scumbag.

"Begin!" Shao Kahn called.

"Prepare to die, ghost!" Kollector said while forming an evil smirk on his face

FIGHT!

Kollector immediately swinged his Chained Mace at Johnny 13, who dodged Kollector's attack by an inch but was then met with a slash from one of Kollector's blades, hitting him in the chest!

Kitty gasped in horror.

Johnny quickly collected himself and thew a series of punches and kicks at the Naknada, who was able to block his attacks, but got hit with a few kicks.

Suddenly, Kollector raised a Sickle from his back and slashed at Johnny, hitting him in the leg, hurting him! Kollector then grabbed him and thew him to the other side of the arena, but Johnny landed on his feet and did several backflips before he got back in his fighting stance.

'This is for all the people you made to suffer, you bastard!' Johnny mentally said angrily before he summoned his shadow "Shadow, grab him!"

Shadow appeared and launches at Kollector, which caught him by surprise and Shadow held him tight by his two arms. The Naknada tried to slash Shadow with his other three arms with his blades and sickle, but was unable to hurt him as it was only a shadow.

Then, Kollector was met with a fast amount of kicks in the face by Johnny 13 and with one fierce kick at the chest, he broke a few rips, sending Kollector flying backwards!

As Kollector coughed, he glared at Johnny 13, while Shadow returned to him "Aaargh! You'll pay for that!" the Naknada yelled as he swing his Chained Mace and tried to hit Johnny, but he managed to dodge his attacks. Johnny then got an idea, hoping it would work. While Johnny kept dodging Kollector's attacks with his Chained Mace, he got closer up to the Naknada and became intangible and tried to overshadow Kollector.

"What?! What is this?!" Kollector asked in both surprise and horror before Johnny managed to overshadow him.

Johnny, now in Kollector's body, raised his fist and beat himself in the face several times while mocking the Naknada "Why are you punching yourself? Why are you punching yourself? Why are you punching yourself? Why are you punching yourself?"

Lots of the people in the crowd, including the Earthrealm warriors were all laughing at Kollector being humiliated like that as Johnny 13 overshadowed the Naknada scumbag.

Kollector then began to glow green as he got furious and somehow managed to blew Johnny 13 out of his body "ENOUGH!"

As Johnny 13 fell backwards, he looked in surprise while rubbing the back of his head "Whoa. That guy's body is hard to overshadow."

Raiden called to him "Johnny 13! Overshadowing powers are weaker in Outworld!"

That earned him a glare from Johnny as he stood up "And now you're telling me?!" but then got back in his fighting stance as he faced Kollector "Alright. Enough fooling around then."

Kollector then charges in on Johnny with his sickle and blades drawn. Johnny waited for him to come closer, remembering his training under his teacher, Bo' Rai Cho. As Kollector was this close on delivering the final blow Johnny suddenly delivered a very strong and fast headbutt right on Kollector's face with amazing speed, breaking his nose and fractured the Naknada's skull!

However, the headbutt had hit Kollector so bad it made him feel dizzy as he stepped backwards.

Johnny 13 smirked and fired a double ghost ray from both hands, hitting Kollector right in the chest, sending him flying backwards and made him hit the arena wall!

As the pain in his head began to increase, Kollector slowly lost his balance… and fell forward on the arena floor unconscious.

JOHNNY 13 WINS!

Johnny 13 sighed before he gave a shrug "Guess Bo' Rai Cho was right about using your head battle."

While Johnny 13 left the arena floor and some of the Outworld servants helped to carry away Kollector's unconscious body, D'Vorah rolled her eyes "This one's not surprised by Kollector's failure."

Sindel agreed with D'Vorah "Indeed," She then asked her husband "If I may, husband? Why did you allowed Kollector to join the tournament anyway?"

Shao Kahn answered as a servant poured in a goblet of wine for him "Honestly, wife, just so that I have more warriors to fight for me. But mostly," he then frowned at Johnny 13 who joined his fellow Earthrealm warriors and embraced Kitty in a passionate kiss "That ghost and his friends are given the people of Outworld something I had spend thousands of years to beat out of them."

"And what would that be, husband?"

"They're giving them hope," he then took a big sip from his wine "Perhaps its best to teach the people of my empire to remember them who's in charge." he then gestured one of his judges to come before him.

The judge approached Shao Kahn and made a bow "Yes, my emperor?"

"Tell the people of Outworld as of today; their workload and taxes are doubled. Those who defy my orders or show any resistance, will be punished severely." Shao Kahn ordered.

The judge formed an evil smile and made a bow again before leaving "As you wish, my liege."

Nitara, who'd heard everything, was shocked that Shao Kahn would make the people of Outworld to suffer even more, which slowly angered her 'You… heartless bastard!' she mentally cursed the emperor.

Kitana and Mileena both shared a worried look as what their father had decided to do to the people.

Seeing that it was time for a break, Shao Kahn ordered the arena floor to be fixed in the meantime.

At the Earthrealmers side, while some were taking a snack, Johnny 13 placed his arm around his girlfriend, softly rubbing her buttcheek while taking some food from the table, and whispered softly in her ear "Now… I think you said that if I came back in one piece… I could do with you whatever I want?" he moved his hand from her side up to her left breast, softly toughing it.

This made Kitty give a little giggle "Ooooh, you wanna have me that bad, huh…?" she whispered back.

Johnny sighed "You have no fucking idea, kitten…"

Kitty bite her lip and puts her plate down, taking Johnny's hand "Then let's go somewhere more private, right now…" she then dragged him into a hallway, leaving the others.

Danny had noticed them whispering and leaving. He formed a little smile while he shook his head.

At the balcony of the Outworld warriors, Mileena whispered to Kitana "Ca-can I talk to you for a moment? Alone?"

Kitana shortly glanced at her sister, then to her parents and then back to Mileena, giving a nod and both walked together away into a different hallway, but cautious as to not cause any suspicion.


As soon as the two Outworld princesses were out of sight, they quickly took each other's hands and ran through the hallway.

Suddenly, Mileena accidentally stumbled upon a female servant, who carried a plate of food and almost dropped, but Mileena caught it in time.

The female servant quickly apologized, not wanting to be punished for her clumsiness "Oh! I'm sorry! I'm so so so sorry, princess, I didn't meant to-"

"No, no, It's alright," Mileena ensured her as she gave the large plate back to her "I didn't looked where I was going."

The female servant sighed in relief and made a bow "Tha… thank you, your highness. I… should bring this to the imperial balcony."

Just as the female servant had left, both Kitana and Mileena held hands again and walked together into an empty room, closing the door behind them and then embraced into an passionate kiss.

"Mmmmm Hmmmm." Kitana moaned as hers and Mileena's tongue touched and danced like crazy in their mouths.

Mileena touched her everywhere as she was with her back to the wall and Kitana touched her breasts "Oooooh, Kitana…! If I… didn't kiss you for one more minute, I was going to get crazy! Hmmmaaaahh!" Mileena moaned as how much she desired to have Kitana.

Kitana nodded while kissing Mileena down her neck "Me too, Mileena…! I couldn't get… get you out of my head…!"

Unknown to both of them, the same female servant that Mileena stumbled upon, which happened to be the same female servant who was secretly a member of the Outworld Resistance, had secretly followed them and peaked through the keyhole, watching with complete surprise as the two Outworld princesses were making out.

But just as Mileena was about to undress Kitana, wanting to share a quick sex before going back, Kitana held her hands, preventing her from taking off her dress.

"What's wrong?" Mileena asked.

Kitana sighed before forming a sweet smile and softly stroke Mileena's cheek "I know what's on your mind, my love. But now is not the time."

Though Mileena was to say she doesn't care, she knew it was too risky as there could be people hearing them. Sadly, she sighed before giving a nod "I… I suppose you're right, Kitana."

Luckily for her, Kitana had a better idea and told her "Meet me tonight in my bedroom. I'll make sure that… nobody will disturb us for the whole night."

Hearing this, that they could spend the entire night in each other's arms, formed a smile back on Mileena's face. She then placed her hands on Kitana's butt cheeks and softly rubbed them while biting her lip "I look forward to have you in my arms all night, my love…"

Kitana gave a soft moan while she formed a sweet smile "Me too…"

They then embraced into one last passionate kiss, which they took their time, knowing it was going to be a long day before they can make love again.

The female servant got away from the door and walked away. But as she walked away, she formed a small smile on her face "You were right, Nitara. There is truly something between them that makes them… not being sisters at all. But what could it be?" she wandered as she could strangely sense that Kitana and Mileena maybe weren't sisters at all. She knew she and the other Resistance fighters had to get to the bottom of this.


Meanwhile, with Johnny 13 and Kitty. The two ghost lovers had found themselves their own private room, which was filled with spare clothes for slaves and both made love like crazy. They tongue kissed each other wildly while exposing themselves of their clothes.

"Hmmmm! Mmmmwhaaaaa! Oh, Johnny…! Yes…!" Kitty moaned as Johnny took off Kitty's shirt, exposing her breasts and began sucking and licking on them while twisting her nipples.

While Johnny 13 made love to his girlfriend, he began to think back about last night, when Kitty was showing him her newly bought Outworld clothes…

*Flashback from last night*

After the servants had moved Johnny's stuff into Kitty hut, both relaxed in embrace on the couch and given each other soft kisses.

Kitty formed a sweet smile as she said softly "I'm so proud of you, Johnny… I'm so glad that you finally act mature."

Johnny 13 gave a shrug "Yeah, well… I didn't wanted to lose you and all, and… I guess it was time for me to finally grow up, especially after you smacked some sense into me."

"Well, either way… I really love this new version of Johnny 13… acting all grownup…" and planted another kiss on his lips, feeling so happy that her man had finally stopped fouling around and taking their relationship for granted while checking on other girls.

But she then stopped and asked him "Oh, you wanna see the new outfits I bought?"

Johnny 13 gave a shrug "Uhm… sure!"

Kitty giggled as she went to the closet and took out all the Outworld outfits she'd bought. As she went to the restroom to strip out of her normal clothes and putted on one of the outfits, she showed it to Johnny.

Johnny 13 loved it, which made Kitty smile.

For over an half-hour, Kitty showed him every dress and Johnny liked them all. Kitty could see that Johnny wasn't lying, which made her happy inside.

But then, as Kitty walked out of the restroom, now wearing a large bathrobe, she wandered and asked her boyfriend as she stood in front of him "But tell me, Johnny. Why did you really began to peek on other girls? Was it because I'm not hot enough for you anymore?"

That shocked Johnny at first, but then he scratched his head and tried to say "Uhmm… well, I… It's not that I don't think your hot anymore. Heck, you're smocking hot! It's just… I don't know…"

"Then what?" Kitty began to look at him a bit more serious and crossed her arms

Johnny then sighed and began to tell her with honest "Well… it's because we've been together for so long and… somehow… I felt I was… missing something about you…"

"Missing something?"

"Well, like you could be a bit more… more…"

"A bit more different? Normal?"

Johnny shook his head wildly "No, no, no, no, no! That's not what I mean… I just… wanted… well…"

Kitty however had an idea why Johnny was acting the way he was "It's because I always be who I was, right? Being this; biker girl, right?"

Johnny looked away, feeling ashamed of how he acted towards her for years and wished she could be a bit more different.

Kitty then formed a seducing smile and whispered "Well, if you wanted me to be all… sexy and naughty… like that Edenian woman, Jade… you should have told me…" she then took off her bathrobe, showing the very sexy Edenian dress she was wearing underneath.

Johnny 13's mouth fell right open as he saw how gorgeous, sexy and amazing Kitty looked in it. It was a near identical one like Mileena's cleavage fighting outfit, but was emerald green and it showed lots of cleavage, only covering her nipples and vagina.

"You like?" Kitty asked while she bite her lip and made a sexy pose for him, opening her legs.

Johnny gave a nod as he formed a lustful smile.

Just as Johnny was about to stand up, Kitty formed a little smile as she raised her finger, making it glow with blue energy "Ah ah aaahaa…!"

As she was this close to form the same rings around Johnny's ankles and wrists, Johnny slowly sat back on the couch, not wanting to go through the same thing like last time again.

Kitty giggled as she seduced him "No… not yet, tiger. For now… I want you to enjoy my little show… and if you play your cards right, without touching me… you can have me… all night long…"

Johnny liked the sound of that and raised his hands for a moment "Alright, kitten. I won't touch."

"Good…" Kitty softly said as she raised her finger, making it glow blue and a CD-player, which Kitty borrowed from Ember, began to play a slow, romantic, sexy song. Then, she turned off the big light and used her powers to light a few candles for the romantic atmosphere.

Kitty began to dance around the room in an exotic way, swaying her hips seductively while slowly moving her hands over her body, rubbing her breasts and moaning "Mmmm. Mmmm. Aaaah. Oh yeah…"

Johnny never imagined that Kitty could be this… exotic 'Goddamn… If I'd know she could do that I…' he mentally thought, seeing now how stupid he was for not asking her sooner to do something more sexy for him.

Kitty then seductively took off the bottom part of her sexy outfit, showing her very sexy breasts and rubbing them in front of Johnny. When she noticed his cock was getting hard in his pants, Kitty bite her lip seductively "Oooooh. I see you're hard already, naughty boy."

Johnny sighed as he gave a nod, saying with lust "Yeah. Hard for you, babe. I… I almost can't control myself. This 'not touching rule' is… killing me." He states, wanting to fuck her senseless, having a hard time to hold himself from touching her.

Kitty formed a sweet smile "Good things like a good fuck come to those who wait, Johnny." She then brings one of her nipples to her mouth and sucked on it "Mmmm. Mmmmmm. Mmmm." She then turned around and continued to dance seductively before slowly pulling her outfit down, now fully naked. She then swayed her ass in front of Johnny before smacking her ass "Oooooh! Oh fuck yeah!" she moaned after smacking her ass a few times. While she crawled onto him, Kitty asked softly while moving her tongue over her lips and grind her hips on her lap "Well, Johnny…? How bad do you want to fuck me…?"

Johnny moaned as he puts his arms around her back and ass "Oh, baby… I really wanna fuck you senseless all night long."

Feeling him touching her ass, Kitty said before planting a kiss on his lips "Then what are you waiting for, baby? Fuck me the way you want now."

Not being able to control himself, Johnny planted a very passionate kiss on Kitty's lips, which she gladly returned. While keeping touching her, Johnny flipped her over so he was on top and quickly took off his clothes until he was completely naked, showing her his hard cock.

As they resumed their love making, touching and kissing each other like there was no tomorrow, Johnny positioned himself and moved his cock close to Kitty's wet vagina "Oooh, Kitty. I'm gonna fuck you like never before…!" he moaned, not wanting to wait another second.

But just as he was to penetrate her, Kitty asked him "Wait, baby, wait! Do you have protection?"

Johnny stopped before realizing "Damn it! I forgot about that. No, I don't have any condoms. Sorry, babe," but then he formed a little smile "But… you're on the pill, right? So it's okay."

Kitty however shook her head "Uhm, actually, Johnny. I… stopped taking the pill."

"What?" he asked in surprise "But I thought you-"

"I know, I know," Kitty stated, but also cursed herself "It's just… we were so focusing on training for the tournament that I… didn't think of taking it anymore," she sighed, feeling sorry "I'm sorry, Johnny."

Both were a bit disappointed.

But after just five seconds, Kitty formed a seductive smile "You know what? I don't give a shit. Let's just fuck each other senseless… all night long."

Johnny smiled at that "Then prepare yourself, kitten. Cause tonight, will be the best one you've had in your whole afterlife."

"Oh, Johnny!" Kitty pulled Johnny over to her and lustfully kissed, with Johnny penetrating his hard cock deep in Kitty's pussy "HmmmmAAAAAH!" Kitty moaned out loud.

With all their hormones out of control, Johnny and Kitty fucked each other senselessly on the couch.

"OH YES! YES! YES! FUCK ME! FUCK ME HARD, JOHNNY! AAAH AH AH AH AH!"

"OH SHIT, KITTY! YEEEAH!"

Johnny banged her so hard that the couch fell over, but both kept fucking each other, not caring a damn in the whole world. Johnny grabbed Kitty and pulled her up, pinning her hard at the wall while keeping fucking her, cracking the wall!

Kitty then pushed Johnny back before jumping on him, making them roll over the room, breaking lots of stuff in their way till Johnny took her dogy style, penetrating his cock very deep in Kitty's pussy, hitting her cervix.

"OOOOH FUCK! FUCK ME DEEP, JOHNNY! FUCK ME REALLY DEEP, YEEEEEAH! FUUUUCK!"

"AAAAH YEAH! OOOH I LOVE IT!" Johnny moaned out loud while spanking Kitty's ass hard.

"AH! OH YEAH, JOHNNY! SPANK ME! SPANK ME HARD AND JUST KEEP FUCKING ME!" Kitty begged, wanting him to keep spanking her.

Johnny did so and fucked her senselessly and kept spanking her hard on her ass.

Kitty then flipped over as they rolled across the room, with Johnny still having his cock inside her, till she was on top, making it easier for Johnny to spank her while fucking her.

"Kitty! I… I'm gonna cum! I'm gonna cum really hard!"

"Me too, Johnny! Let's cum together!" Kitty said, wanting them to climax at the same time.

Johnny wanted to take his cock out of her, but Kitty held him tight, looking at her very serious as she was this close "Oh no, don't you dare putting it out, Johnny! I want your seed! I want your seed deep inside me! OOH FUCK FUCK FUCK!"

"But, Kitty, I don't want you to…" Johnny tries to tell her, but being on the brink of climaxing and her pussy feels so good, Johnny nodded and grabbed her ass tight and fucked her even harder and faster "OOOH KITTY! KITTY! KITTY!"

"YEAH, THAT'S IT JOHNNY! FUCK ME! FUCK ME! PLEASE… CUM FOR ME JOHNNY, CUM DEEP INSIDE OF ME NOW!"

"KITTYYYYYYYY!"

"JOHNNYYYYYYYYY!"

Kitty and Johnny yelled as they both climaxed, with Johnny releasing all his cum inside Kitty, holding her ass really tight as he released all his seed deep inside her, all entering her womb.

Kitty began to shake as her climax felt so very good and feeling Johnny's all going inside her, feeling it was so warm.

Both panted as Kitty rested on his chest, with Johnny still having his hard cock inside her, keeping all the seed from going out of her.

"That…" Kitty tried to say "That was… the… best sex… ever…"

Johnny gave a nod while he still kept panting, looking down at his girlfriend and formed a little smile. However, feeling that his cock was still rock hard, he whispered "Well… the night's still young, and" he then banged his cock hard in her, making her moan out loud "I did say I wanted to fuck you all night." He said with a lustful smirk on his face.

Kitty bite her lip, ready for round 2 "Then don't wait, Johnny and fill me insides even more with your seed!" and both resumed their passionate sex.

Over the course of time, Kitty an Johnny couldn't stop having sex, trying out different positions and cum many times. Kitty even allowed her boyfriend to take her anal, which was something he desired to do with her for a long time but never had the courage to ask. Kitty didn't mind at all and loved Johnny banging her in the ass, cumming in both her ass and pussy several times. Kitty even took her boyfriend's cock deepthroat, cumming in her mouth many times.

After climaxing for the tenth time and it was around 2:50PM, both fell on the bed, exhausted, panting while resting in each other's arms.

Kitty was nearly out of breath, but could say a few words "Yeah, Johnny… Aaaaah… now it's… hmmmm… the best sex… ever!"

"Fuckin'… A… right… kitten." Johnny said, also being nearly out of breath.

Kitty softly rubbed her belly, feeling so much of Johnny's seed in both her womb and ass, as both her vagina and brown star dripped out with so much sperm.

They wished they could share a few more words, but being so exhausted and wanting to keep this night special, they quickly fell asleep while being in embrace.

*End of flashback*

After having climaxed inside Kitty's pussy, she gave her boyfriend a blowjob and even took him deepthroat.

Johnny, feeling his climax coming, grabbed Kitty's head and banged her mouth hard "Oooh, Kitty! Kitty! KITTY!" and released his seed inside her mouth, forcing her to swallow everything, making Kitty's eyes go wide as she swallowed his big loud of sperm.

When Johnny was finished climaxing, Kitty sucked his dick dry, being sure that there was not a single drop of sperm left in his cock and then licked his dick clean.

Kitty moaned before licking her lips, tasting a few traces of sperm "Hmmmm. Oh yeah… that was really nice…"

Johnny sighed while giving a nod as he sat down "You bet…"

That was when Johnny began to think, feeling a bit depressed.

Kitty noticed it and worriedly asked as she sat on his lap, placing her arms around his neck "What's bothering you, baby?"

Johnny sighed as he stated "It's just… this whole tournament, and… seeing some of our team… dying," Kitty began to feel where this was going, which she sadly didn't liked at all "I mean… what if… I could die in the arena? It's like-"

Kitty covered his mouth while tears formed in her eyes, looking both sad and angry at him "Don't even start! Don't you even fucking start saying that, Johnny!" she sobbed "That won't happen, you hear me?! You're not gonna lose me, and I sure as hell not gonna lose you in this tournament! I…" she began to cry "I won't be able to bare the thought of ever losing you. So don't even dare to mention it ever again, Johnny!"

Kitty embraced her boyfriend, with him allowing her to cry on his shoulder.

Johnny felt guilty of ever mentioning the thought of losing her or she would lose him and returned the hug and softly rubbing her back "I'm sorry, Kitty. I'm sorry. I won't talk about it again. Ever."

"You… you promise?"

Johnny slowly broke the hug, glancing into her eyes while wiping away a few tears "I promise," He said softly.

Kitty formed a small smile and both shared a kiss.

Then, realizing how much time had passed, seeing they'd been away for more than an hour, Kitty quickly stood up "Oh shit! We should get back now."

Seeing that they'd probably spend too much time having a quicky, which lasted a bit longer than anticipated, Johnny nodded and puts his pants back on, with Kitty putting back on her fighting outfit.

Johnny then held something in his pocket while watching Kitty getting dressed and mentally thought 'This life… or afterlife… it seems so short with all this Mortal Kombat bullshit going on… I finally realize what you truly mean to me, Kitty. And I…' he then shortly glanced to what was in his pocket, which was a tiny box, carrying an engagement ring, which he'd secretly bought when he and Kitty were at the Outworld market yesterday '…I want to spend that remaining time with only you… as my wife…' but wanting to wait until the tournament was over, Johnny safely puts the ring away. He figured that maybe he should keep the ring somewhere more safe then in his pocket while fighting in the tournament.

After Kitty was finished, they hurriedly ran back hand in hand to join their fellow Earthrealm warriors.


On the arena floor, Cyrax was facing the Tarkatan leader, Baraka. While the Tarkatan was able to deliver a few serious blows on Cyrax, the Lin Kuei assassin skillfully used his mind in battle and delivered a few fierce blows himself.

As Cyrax waited patiently for an opening, Baraka drews his blades from both his arms and charged in on Cyrax with a furious roar. But just as Baraka was about to stab him with both his blades, Cyrax delivered a fierce kneecap on Baraka's face, breaking nearly all his sharp teeth! And then delivered 2 fierce kicks in the head, knocking Baraka backwards.

Baraka barely moved and didn't get up and was defeated.

Cyrax sighed in relief while Shao Kahn said annoyingly "Winner… Cyrax."

Some in the crowd cheered for the Lin Kuei assassin as he'd defeated the Tarkatan warrior.

Johnny 13 and Kitty rejoined their friends, with Danny asking with a raised eyebrow "Hey, what took you guys so long?!"

Johnny scratched his head while he blushed "Oh we were just… having some alone time and… forget how much time had passed." He then brushed it off while he asked and looked at the arena floor with Kitty "Did we miss much?"

Ember stated "Cyrax just defeated that Tarkatan bastard, Baraka."

Kitty gave a fist bump "Alright!"

Raiden however then said "But before that, we'd lost two more Shaolin. Both were killed. And Smoke had just been defeated by princess Kitana."

Johnny and Kitty were shocked "Shit! We lost three more fights?!" Johnny asked, but felt relieved to see that Smoke was sitting nearby, while he recovered from his wounds

Sektor then said "Yes. That necromancer from Netherrealm, Quan Chi and the new warrior, Noob Saibot proved to be stronger."

But Danny ensured "But Kitana had actually spared Smoke."

Ember then chuckled as she stated what happened "Kitana's father was even pissed when Kitana helped Smoke back up his feet and gave him a humble bow."

Kitty formed a smirk before looking disappointed "Damn. I wished I could have seen that." then she wandered as she couldn't see Kitana at the Outworld balcony "Where is Kitana anyway?"

Danny gave a shrug "I don't know, but by the looks of it, I say that Shao Kahn had dismissed her. And Mileena had actually come with her.

That gave some relief to Kitty as she shrugged "Ah well. As long as those two sisters are together, I guess they'll be alright," but then gave a bit worried look on her face "I hope."

Once Cyrax had rejoined his fellow warriors, the servants once again cleaned all the mess on the arena floor, while some entertainers were performing a little show.

After an hour, Shao Kahn called "For the next match, the ghost hunter Skulker will fight!"

Hearing that Skulker will be fighting again, made the crowd to cheer, while Skulker formed a smirk "Good." And walked down the stairs to enter the arena floor. He then asked Shao Kahn "Alright, then, Shao Kahn. Who will be my next prey?"

"Chameleon!" Shao Kahn called.

At that moment, the Saurian creation of Shang Tsung uncloaked himself, having stood on the edge of the arena floor on the other side and jumped high, facing Skulker while his skin kept changing color.

Skulker readied himself while still showing a smirk "Ah yes. Your head will make a nice trophy on my wall."

Arrogantly, Chameleon laughed "Hahahahaha! You're no match for me, hunter. I am Chameleon, the greatest and strongest Saurian warrior that had ever lived.

On the balcony, Reptile glared with anger at Chameleon, knowing that he was not a true Saurian warrior and hoped that Skulker would kill the reptilian creation.

Seeing both Skulker and Chameleon were in their fighting stance, ready to kill each other, Shao Kahn called for them to begin "Now… FIGHT!"

FIGHT!

Skulker fired several blasts from his shoulder guns at Chameleon, but the Saurian creation avoided Skulker's attacks with amazing speed.

As Chameleon delivered a high jump kick at Skulker, the ghost-hunter deflected his attack with his wrists, only to be hit with the other leg right at his chest, sending Skulker flying backwards!

Skulker quickly used his jet boots to stop in midair and then lauchhed several heat-seaking missiles at Chameleon! But surprisingly, they missed their target and exploded on the arena floor.

Chameleon laughed "Hahahahaha! It seems you're bad at your aiming, hunter." The lizard warrior then turned invisible.

Skulker landed on the ground, using his sensors to seek where Chameleon was hiding "Where are you?" He asked with a glare. Suddenly, red markings were warning him of incoming attack!

Skulker quickly turned was was just in time to avoid Chameleon's acid spit!

Skulker still couldn't see Chameleon but heard footsteps as he stood in his battle stance. Then, he suddenly was kicked hard in the chest and then a few times in the face! Then, a powerful fist attack hit Skulker's chest so hard, some of his mechanical parts broke off, making him fall on the ground!

The crowd cheered. Chameleon uncloaked for a little moment before turning invisible again as he evilly smirked "Time to finish this fight."

Skulker had to think fast. He held up some of the sand on the arena floor. Skulker got an idea, making him smirk as he stood up, activating a taser in his right robotic arm.

Hearing one footstep, and Chameleon prepared for another acid spit attack, Skulker used his taser on the arena floor, electrocuting the whole arena floor as sand guides electricity! Chameleon was heavily electrocuted, making scream in agonizing pain and got visible again "AAAAAAAAAARGH!"

Skulker smirked, as he upgraded his suit that electricity wouldn't harm him.

Chameleon fell to the floor. He tried to get up, but after being electrocuted so much, his body barely moved.

Skulker drew his right blade as he marched over to his new prey with a big grin on his face. While Chameleon had a bit of strength left to stand on his knees, he tried one more acid spit attack on Skulker, but he deflected the attack with his upgraded ghost shield.

"I expected more from you." Skulker says as a big smirk forms on his face.

Chameleon feared what he was going to do to him.

"Finish him!" Shao Kahn called.

Skulker applied and stabbed Chameleon in his midriff, pulling him up while he screamed in pain. Skulker then penetrated the blade even deeper in Chameleon's chest, along with his hand, grabbing his spine and then ripped his whole spine together with Chameleon's head off with blood splattering all around!

SKULKER WINS!

FATALITY

With his new trophy in hand, Skulker dropped the rest of Chameleon's body while looking with pride "A perfect trophy to put on my wall."

Danny, Ember, Johnny 13 and Kitty both frowned to see Skulker being as bloodthirsty as 2 days ago when he killed Kintaro, clearly enjoying killing his opponents.

Reptile crossed his arms as he was glad to see the fake Saurian warrior being killed at last "Good riddance." He said.

Shao Kahn formed a grin on his face, seeing how more Skulker is enjoying killing his victims. Although he was disappointed that Shang Tsung couldn't create a stronger Saurian warrior than Chameleon, but having seen the strength of Ermac, he was satisfied nonetheless.

And so, after Chameleon's body was removed from the arena floor, again some slaves cleaned the mess and made the repairs as it was break time again.

When Skulker rejoined the other Earthrealmers, the ghost warriors ignored the ghost-hunter, while Sektor gave him a simple nod, being somewhat glad that his student used his head to defeat the stronger Saurian warrior.

Raiden gave him a compliment on his victory "You've fought well, Skulker."

"Mmm." Skulker said while giving a nod and sat down somewhere while attaching Chameleon's decapitated head at his belt.

Danny groaned in both disappointment and anger for what Skulker truly is "To think that I even thought that maybe there was some good in him."

Ember held his hand and rubbed it "Don't bother yourself about Skulker, baby. He made his choice… and so have I." she finishes while placing her head on his shoulder. That did form a little smile on Danny, but Skulker once again glared at him with jealousy.

After an hour of break, taking some of the food that was provided by the servants or checking on Smoke and the Shoalin monk's injuries, the Earthrealm warriors heard Shao Kahn announcing the next fight.

"Now, for the next match! Fighting on behalf of Earthrealm: Danny Phantom!" Shao Kahn called.

Danny sighed "Here goes nothing."

Ember embraced him in a hug, saying softly "Please be careful, babypop…"

Danny returned the hug and ensured her "I will. I promise…" and both shared a kiss before Danny went down to walk onto the arena floor.

Shao Kahn then called for Danny's opponent "His opponent will be: The Osh-Tek leader, KOTAL!" he then glared at Kotal, who stepped forward "Do not fail me, general."

Kotal bowed before his emperor "I won't fail you, Shao Kahn."

As Kotal was about to leave to enter the arena floor, Jade gave him a big hug, not wanting to lose her lover. Kotal ensured Jade he will be alright.

With the Osh-Tek leader entering the arena floor, Danny took his fighting stance 'This time I won't let my guard down that easily.' He mentally vowed.

Sub-Zero watched as how his student was focused, feeling that now he was ready.

Ember prayed that Danny would win and come back into her arms.

Kotal then then said before he got in his fighting stance "May the Sun God have mercy on you, Danny Phantom."

FIGHT!

Kotal began with delivering several punches and kicks at Danny. But being more ready and more serious than having nearly lost his first match against Mileena, Danny was able to block Kotal's attacks before he launched his own series of punches and kicks, which Kotal was able to block, but not before Danny fired a ghost ray at Kotal, hitting him in the chest and knocking him back a few feet!

Kotal quickly got back up and drew his Osh-Tekk dagger, slashing at Danny who avoided his first strikes but then got hit in his left arm and then Kotal delivered an uppercut hard on Danny in the face! But being in midair, Danny quickly recovered and formed an ice sword as he landed on the floor.

With both his ice sword and Kotal his dagger, both warriors slashed with fierce strikes upon another, deflecting or avoiding their strikes, but with Danny hitting Kotal twice in the chest and Kotal once on Danny's shoulder! When Danny got hit, he reacted quickly and launched a series of ice projectiles at Kotal, who got hit head on and send flying backwards!

While Kotal got back up, Danny didn't underestimated him and kept some distance while holding his ice sword.

Seeing that Danny didn't took the opportunity to deliver more strikes, only to risk being caught of guard, somehow impressed Kotal "Very wise of you to keep your guard up instead of attacking. But also rather foolish not to take the moment to strike."

"I learned my lesson from last time," Danny stated.

"Then let's finish this!" Kotal yelled as he jumped high to deliver a fierce kick on Danny, but he avoided it just in time and then slashed with his ice sword, hitting Kotal hard in the back and blasted him further with another Ghost Ray!

Kotal got up and held his hands up, praying to the Sun God "Give me strength, oh mighty one!" and a large flash of light shined on Kotal from the sun, before he morphed into a very large panther who roared at Danny.

As the panther formed Kotal attacked fast with its large claws, Danny had a hard time to avoid his strikes and even his ghost ray nor his ice projectiles seemed to have any affect on him. When one claw hit Danny, sending him rolling across the arena, Ember gasped in horror!

Danny panted as he rubbed his wounded clawed chest, seeing green blood "Dammit! How can I defeat someone being this big?" He thought out loud before panther Kotal attacked him, making Danny to avoid while thinking fast. Seeing no other option, Danny inhaled and launched his Ghostly Wail at Kotal! While everyone in the stadium covered their ears, panther Kotal used its claws to hold to the ground, preventing him from being send flying backwards, but stained some damage cause of the strong shockwaves from Danny's Ghostly Wail.

Seeing panther Kotal was distracted, Danny felt he had no choice and jumped high, getting on top of the large Osh-Tekk panther, raising his ice sword and stabbed right on panther Kotal's head, making it roar in pain as a flash of light came from its head, becoming even brighter!

Danny then fell on the floor, seeing Kotal had morphed back into his original form, but was weakened as his energy receiving from the sun was blocked as how badly he'd hit him in the head. Kotal had a hard time to balance. Seeing his chance, Danny raced towards Kotal, jumped high and delivered many super-speed kicks on Kotal's face and chest and then delivered one last one hard in the jaw, nearly breaking it as Kotal fall backwards hard!

Kotal tried to get up, but was exhausted and fell back again.

DANNY PHANTOM WINS!

Danny sighed before forming a smirk "Guess your Sun God DID show me mercy."

Shao Kahn became angry as even his Osh-Tekk general failed to defeat Danny Phantom. He then called "Now… FINISH HIM!"

Danny raised an eyebrow at Shao Kahn before he frowned at him, reminding the emperor "Like I said before, Shao Kahn; I came here to win this tournament and defend my realm, not to kill anyone."

Though Shao Kahn was still angry, he then began to evilly laugh "Hahahahahaha! Maybe you'll spare your opponents lives now, ghost boy. But mark my words; one way or another, you eventually won't have any choice but to kill your opponent, or you will die." he then gestured him to leave the arena floor.

Kotal still was barely able to stand up, but told Danny "You have great strength, Phantom. And for that… and for your honorary behavior… you have my respect."

Danny formed a little smile and made a bow to Kotal "And you have mine." And then left the arena floor.

Wasting no time, Jade hurried down to the arena floor and helped Kotal back on his feet, helping him to walk out of the arena floor.

"I… have failed, Jade." Kotal said with a bit of sadness in his voice.

Jade shook her head, ensuring her lover "You may have failed to win, but you're still here… with me." And planted a kiss on his lips.

While Danny joined back with his team, he was congratulated by the others and received a passionate kiss from Ember before she helped him to sit down so that Raiden could fix his wounds.

Shao Kahn then called the next fighter to come "Sektor of the Lin Kuei! You're next!"

Sektor gave a nod and glanced to Cyrax and Sub-Zero. Both patted his shoulder "Good luck, my friend." Sub-Zero said.

Sektor patted Sub-Zero's shoulder in return "Thank you, grandmaster Bi-Han." And walked down into the arena floor.

Shao Kahn formed an evil smirk, as he was going to call the fighter who would face Sektor "Now, assassin of the Lin Kuei. You have the honor to fight against my strongest and fiercest warrior! You will face Outworld's undisputed champion! GORO!"

An iron gate opened, revealing the Shokan prince, Goro, who roared as he jumped high into the air, landing in front of Sektor.

Most people in the crowd cheered for Outworld's strongest and undefeated champion "GORO! GORO! GORO! GORO! GORO! GORO! GORO! GORO! GORO! GORO!"

Goro smirked as he cracked his four hands "Puny human. Prepare yourself to face a true Shokan."

Despite that Goro was way stronger than Sektor, the Lin Kuei assassin confidently got in his fighting stance "No matter how big your muscles are, you will be no match for a true Lin Kuei!"

Goro still smirked as he got in his battle stance "I will give you a warrior's death."

FIGHT!

Goro punched immediately into the ground, causing the ground around Sektor to shake, before he was send high into the air, with Goro jumping high, grabbing him by his legs and threw him down into the arena floor, hurting Sektor greatly! But before Goro could land hard on Sektor, the Lin Kuei assassin barely avoided Goro's strike and used his flamethrower attack from his wrists, burning Goro!

But the Shokan merely smirked as he grabbed Sektor by the legs and thew him into the ground multiple times till he thew him away!

Sektor panted as he clicked on a few buttons on his computer wrist and fired several small missiles at Goro, who hit the Shokan prince head on, hurting him some before Goro angrily roared before jumping high, attempting to land hard on Sektor, but he avoided Goro's strike, only to be met with several fast and strong punches from Goro's four big fists!

Sektor quickly teleported himself behind Goro and delivered a fierce kick in the Shokan's face, teleported before Goro, delivering a uppercut, sending Goro flying up and then Sektor teleported a third time behind Goro, delivering a fierce kick, sending Goro flying back to the arena floor, hitting it hard!

But just as Sektor teleported again, Goro grabbed him and squezed him tight in his four arms, breaking several ribs and bones in Sektor, making him scream agony "AAAAAAAAAH!"

Goro laughed evilly "Does it hurt?" he asked before grabbing Sektor and pinned him down to the ground! With his big fists, Goro delivered more punches unto Sektor already damaged ribcage, making coughing out blood!

Sub-Zero and Cyrax watched in shock as their friend was being slaughtered by Goro.

"Sektor!" Smoke called, horrified of what he saw.

Then, one of Goro's punch was threw on Sektor so hard, it punched right through Sektor's chest, exiting from the back!

Shao Kahn smirked evilly "Finish him." he called to Goro.

The Shokan prince smirked as he used his other three hands to grab Sektor by his wounded chest, slowly ripping it open, making Sektor screaming even louder in agony!

And as Goro pulled Sektor so bad, he ripped him all the way in half! Blood and organs splattered all around as Sektor's both halves fell on the arena floor!

"NO!" Sub-Zero called in horror.

Sektor's left side was somehow still alive, but went through so much pain that he died within seconds.

GORO WINS!

FATALITY

Goro raised his four arms in the air, roaring in victory, while some people in the crowd cheered for Goro to have won so easily.

All the Earthrealm warriors were horrified as they'd seen Sektor being killed in the tournament. Only Skulker reacted coldblooded as he crossed his arms "Hmph. I expected better from my mentor."

As some of the servants came to collect Sektor's remains and carried them out of the arena floor. Raiden told them to bring the deceased Lin Kuei to be brought to the Resort, so they can have a proper funeral, which the servants did.

Cyrax angrily told in Raiden's face "How many more of us will die in this tournament, Lord Raiden?! If we keep this up, we'll all be dead before the next round!"

Raiden tried to calm him down "Cyrax, listen. Sektor knew of the risks, as did Chan and the others. You too knew the risks, all of you."

However, Danny then stepped in, agreeing with Cyrax "That may be, Lord Raiden, but Cyrax is right. If we keep this up, we'll all die in the tournament and Earthrealm will be lost!" he then suggested "Why don't we take some more warriors in our team too? I mean, Shao Kahn added at least 5. Then so should we."

Raiden thought for a moment, feeling that Danny is right and Earthrealm cannot afford to keep losing more battles "You are right, Daniel. We should too add more warriors to our team. I will search through our realm for suitable fighters once the fights for today are over," he then sighed "And after we've honored the people we've lost today."

Back with the Outworld team, Sindel began to sigh "Sitting down here nearly all day and watching all this fighting sure makes us a bit tired. Don't you agree, husband?"

Shao Kahn gave a nod "Perhaps you're right, my wife. It has been a long day. But first," he rose up and spoke to the crowd "As the day is nearly over, we still have time for ONE MORE FIGHT!"

The crowd cheered as they could still watch one more fight.

"Earthrealmers!" Shao Kahn called to them "The next fighter will be nearly as tough and hard to defeat." He then ordered Quan Chi "Summon your warrior, Scorpion."

The Netherrealm necromancer gave a nod and made his hand glow green, summoning some dark energy, which allowed Scorpion to appear in the middle of the arena floor in a whirl of fire!

The Shirai Ryu warrior glanced with his pale white eyes at the remaining Lin Kuei members, especially Sub-Zero, which made frown at him.

Shao Kahn pointed to Sub-Zero "You, grandmaster of the Lin Kuei! You will face Scorpion in Mortal Kombat!"

Sub-Zero narrowed his eyes "So be it." and began to walk down the stairs, walking into the arena floor, facing Scorpion.

Though Scorpion's anger rose as he would finally face the one that had led the Lin Kuei to slaughter his clan, his wife and infant son. But reminding himself of the deal that Raiden promised to request the Elder Gods to bring both his clan and family back to life, Scorpion tried to control himself though it was hard to keep his anger hidden "The Shirai Ryu are dead. You will suffer as they did." Scorpion vowed.

Sub-Zero sighed "I know I've made mistakes in the past, Scorpion, and that the slaughter of your clan was wrong. But believe my words; vengeance is not going to bring them back."

Scorpion frowned as he clutched his fists "No… but I will still avenge their wrongful deaths, but defeating you!"

Scorpion then roared out loud as dark fires surrounded him, starting to form a circle around him, which encircled the entire arena floor with big wild fires! Some of the people in the crowd had to keep their distance as the heat was intense.

Even the Earthrealm warriors couldn't get close.

"Argh! This heat is too much!" Kitty said while covering her face.

"What kind of fire is this?!" Danny asked as he and the others took a few steps back.

Raiden, clearly not affected by the flames, answered "The fires of the Netherrealm itself." The Thunder God hoped deep down that Scorpion won't try to kill Sub-Zero, knowing what would happen as he saw it in his vision.

On the Outworld balcony however, which was protected with a magical forcefield, provided by Quan Chi, Shao Kahn and Sindel smirked evilly, knowing that this was the sort of fights they've been waiting for. Mileena and Kitana held each other's hands.

Sub-Zero, though feeling the intense heat, held his ground as he looked around the fires that Scorpion had created.

"You remember these fires, do you?" Scorpion asked Sub-Zero "The same fires that had nearly destroyed you the last time when you entered the Netherrealm. In these fires I was reborn. Now these fires will make you suffer as how my clan has suffered!" and got in his fighting stance.

Sub-Zero frowned, knowing he couldn't convince Scorpion and got in his fighting stance too "So be it."

FIGHT!

Scorpion immediately went into the attack with a series of kicks and punches, which Sub-Zero was able to block before he summoned his ice sword to slash at Scorpion, but was sword-blocked by his own Katana sword!

With his chained-kunai blade from his left wrist, Scorpion stabbed Sub-Zero in the thy before he kicked him away hard!

Sub-Zero managed to get up fast and fired a series of ice projectiles at Scorpion, but he slashed all the ice projectiles by using his one katana sword before he drew the second one and charged in on Sub-Zero, slashing him with both his Katana swords, which Sub-Zero had a hard time to deflect before he was disarmed and slashed several times on the chest and in his right leg before Scorpion delivered a fierce kneecap on his face, nearly fracturing his skull as he was send flying backwards!

As Scorpion used both his chained kunai blades and thew them to his opponent, Sub-Zero responded quickly be creating an ice wall, blocking Scorpion's attack then used a strong ice beam on him, freezing his kunai blades while walls of ice raced towards Scorpion! The Shirai Ryu warrior managed to dodge Sub-Zero's attack and charged in on the Lin Kuei grandmaster, while Sub-Zero fired many ice projectiles to hit Scorpion, but he dodged them all before teleporting away, appearing behind Sub-Zero to hit him with his katana blades, but Sub-Zero quickly avoided it by creating an ice copy of himself, which Scorpion hit while Sub-Zero formed two ice daggers in his hands and charged on Scorpion, with both slashing and deflecting each other's strikes!

All the Earthrealm warriors (except Skulker) cheered for Sub-Zero while Danny cheered the loudest "C'mon, Bi-Han! Get him!"

Sub-Zero then managed to stab Scorpion in his leg before delivering a fierce ice punch, hitting Scorpion to his chest, freezing it and kicked him away!

Scorpion growled in fury as the ice on his chest quickly melted as his eyes glow with fire. When Sub-Zero was this close to stab Scorpion in the chest, he avoided his strike and elbowed his right arm, breaking its bones!

Sub-Zero yelled in agonizing pain while Scorpion grabbed him and threw him away and summoned his chained kunai blade from his right wrist, hitting Sub-Zero right in the chest, exiting his back!

"AAAAAAH!" Sub-Zero screamed in pain!

"GET OVER HERE!" Scorpion yelled as he pulled Sub-Zero back to him hard and delivered a fierce kick to his chest, nearly breaking all his ribs! With the other chained kunai blade, Scorpion used the large chain to strangle Sub-Zero and pulled him close to the Netherrealm fires, burning him before throwing him into the opposite direction!

Sub-Zero panted as he tried to stand up while holding his wounded chest. As Scorpion charged in, Sub-Zero created another ice copy of himself quickly before moving out of the way and fired an ice beam at Scorpion, freezing him for a moment so Sub-Zero could deliver several strong kicks and punches at him!

But as Scorpion drew his katana blade, he slashed at Sub-Zero, who managed to block his attack by using his wrists, but was then met with a fierce kneecap in the chest, causing Sub-Zero to cough out blood and Scorpion punched him in the face, nearly breaking his jaw and then delivered a fierce uppercut, sending Sub-Zero flying upwards before Scorpion teleported behind him and thew a finishing kick, sending Sub-Zero crashing down in the arena floor!

All the Earthrealm warriors looked in shock.

SCORPION WINS!

Sub-Zero lied nearly motionless on the floor.

Scorpion, who landed in front of Sub-Zero, with one katana sword holding in his right hand and a chained kunai blade in his left.

Shao Kahn chuckled, thinking that Scorpion was about to kill his opponent.

But instead, Scorpion closed his eyes, extinguishing the Netherrealm fires around them, leaving only black burned scars across the arena floor. As he looked down at the man who was responsible for the slaughter of his clan and family, then at both his weapons in his hands, Scorpion began to imagine his clan… his wife, holding their infant son as she smiled…. Though the pain of losing them all was too great to bare, Scorpion was about to let go of his anger.

Raiden saw that Scorpion was conflicted, noticing that he was about to make his decision to spare Sub-Zero, which made him to form a small smile.

Suddenly, Quan Chi teleported himself on the arena floor. The cold blooded necromancer asked with a look of disgust to what he was seeing "Why are you hesitating, Scorpion? You have the man who murdered your wife, your child, your entire clan in cold blood at your mercy, and this is your retribution? End him now!"

"No!" Scorpion replied as he redrew his kunai blade and placed his katana sword back in its holder "I will not. The Thunder God, Raiden gave me his word that he would have the Elder Gods bring my clan and my family back to life in exchange for letting Sub-Zero live… and I intend to keep my promise."

Danny, Ember, Johnny 13, Smoke and Kitty all gave a short glance of confusion, while Raiden gave an approval nod, knowing now that he's prevented Sub-Zero from a more terrible fate.

Quan-Chi countered while laughing evilly after hearing the bargain that his ninja specter made with Raiden "Hahahahaha! A deal with the Elder Gods? Oh, you must be truly desperate to have your family and clan back, do you? Have you forgotten so easily to what happened that tragic day?"

Quan Chi then used his powers to create a big visage of the homeland of the Shirai Ryu.

"Wha… what is this?"

In the big visage, for all to see, the Shirai Ryu village was in flames while battle cries were heard and screams of people dying. Shirai Ryu clansman were cut down by a rain of arrows.

The crowd, the Earthrealm warriors and the Outworld warriors; Kitana, Mileena and Nitara looked in shock of what they saw.

Scorpion began to stare in shock, as he was watching his entire clan being slaughtered by the Lin Kuei all over again "No…"

Another Shirai Ryu clansman was then decapitated by Sektor. More clansman killed by Lin Kuei horse riders. Cyrax slicing a Shirai Ryu warrior in half. Smoke firing several arrows on unarmed clansman. Chan, standing with his Chinese sword in hand over a wounded Shirai Ryu on the ground, begging for mercy before Chan stabbed him in cold blood.

Sub-Zero slowly sat straight, watching the visage of the slaughter of the Shirai Ryu as well, which made him feel so much regret as watching the whole thing over again hurt him inside.

More and more Shirai Ryu warriors and clansman found their death at the hands of Lin Kuei assassins. But so the women… and the children were all brutally murdered by Lin Kuei blades. Among the Lin Kuei, who fought against a dozen of Shirai Ryu warriors, was an 18-year old Sub-Zero.

Quan Chi, noticing that Scorpion's anger rose of seeing Sub-Zero leading the Lin Kuei to slaughter his clan, the evil necromancer formed a grin "Your clan. Your family." He then changed the image in the visage, showing the inside of a house; Scorpion's former home.

Inside the home, while outside the Shirai Ryu were massacred, Scorpion's wife, Harumi huddled in a corner while holding her crying infant son close to her, trying to calm him down though she was afraid herself "Shhhh. Quiet now, Satoshi. Your father will come here to safe us."

Then, the door was about to be opened. Harumi looked up, thinking it was her husband "Hanzo…?" but as the door opens wide, she gasped in shock to see it was Sub-Zero, staring in cold blood at the women holding her infant son.

Sub-Zero frowned as he took his sword out.

Tears formed in Harumi's eyes while her baby cried even louder.

Danny shook his head in shock, not believing what he was seeing "No… that can't be Bi-Han. He would never do that."

Sub-Zero raised his sword, preparing to kill them both "For the Lin Kuei." He said with honor, not even feeling a slight of remorse.

Harumi cried as she closed her eyes, holding her son close to her, trying to protect Satoshi from their fate.

As Sub-Zero slice his sword down, Harumi screamed as blood splattered the walls, along with the petals of a rose worn in Harumi's hair!

Danny, Johnny 13, Ember, Kitty, Mileena and Kitana gasped in horror, while Ember and Kitty covered their mouths of what they saw in the vision. Sub-Zero was horrified of what he saw. Even the people in the crowd were horrified of what they saw.

Scorpion became enraged and glaring hatefully at Sub-Zero "YOU! YOU KILLED THEM… YOU KILLED MY WIFE AND CHILD!"

Quan Chi smirked evilly as he took a few steps back, allowing his specter to finish the job.

Sub-Zero was able to stand up, despite his injuries and tried to reason with him "Scorpion, please wait! That man in that image… that is not me!"

Scorpion shouted as he marched over to Sub-Zero "I DON'T CARE! YOU WILL DIE FOR WHAT YOU DID!"

Shao Kahn then said "Finish him!"

As Scorpion's eyes flared with fire even more than before, he was about to pull off his mask.

But then, Raiden appeared in a flash of lightning, along with someone else in a spirit form.

"HANZO, STOP!" the female spirit called to Scorpion.

Scorpion froze as he slowly turned, shocked as his eyes went wide of what he saw, along with Quan-Chi, whom was deeply stunned by this unexptected turn of events.

"H-H-Harumi? Is… is that really you?" Scorpion asked the spirit.

The spirit, confirmed being Scorpion's deceased wife, answered with a tearful smile on her face as she approached the deeply stunned ninja specter "Yes. It's me, my love."

Shao Kahn angrily stood up from his throne, calling "What is the meaning of this, Raiden!?"

Ignoring Shao Kahn's call, Harumi told her husband "Hanzo, Lord Raiden made his case to the Elder Gods… and they approved his request. They're going to uphold their end of the deal he made with you."

Scorpion fell on his knees. And for the first time in decades, tears formed in his eyes. His wife, his son and his clan would be brought back to life. But then, he angrily said "But… Sub-Zero, he-"

"You've been lied to, Hanzo," Harumi said softly "The Lin Kuei may have been responsible for the death of our entire clan… but this man, Bi-Han is not the one who murdered me and Satoshi. He never was."

Deeply shocked by this, Scorpion asked, as he knew deep down that his wife was speaking the truth while Raiden helped Sub-Zero to remain on his feet "But… if he is not your and Satoshi's killer… then who is?"

Quan-Chi backed away while sweating heavily in fear.

Harumi answered with a hateful glare on her face while pointing directly at the evil necromancer from the Netherrealm "He did. He's the one who murdered me and our son, Hanzo! He deceived the Lin Kuei, used magic to disguise himself as you so he could frame Bi-Han for my and our son's death!"

Scorpion glared at Quan-Chi, as his hatred was fueled even more than he'd ever hated Sub-Zero. His whole journey… was nothing but a lie. The man who'd misguided his vengeance and was truly responsible for the death of his whole clan, was the one who'd resurrected him and turned him into a slave of the Netherrealm.

Scorpion's fury exploded as both his eyes and mouth bursts into firing flames "AAAAAAAAARGH!" and charged at Quan-Chi!

The Netherrealm necromancer quickly fired a dark energy blast at Scorpion, sending him flying backwards.

Quan Chi glared at Raiden "You may have disrupted my plans, Raiden. But know this, you cannot stop for what is about to unfold. Soon, Earthrealm will be Shao Kahn's and you all will either bend the knee or be destroyed!" and then, the evil necromancer teleported away.

As Scorpion stood up, seeing that Quan-Chi had escaped, an even more firing whirlwind surrounded Scorpion as he screamed for vengeance "QUAAAAN-CHIIIIIIIIIIIIII! GGGGRRRAAAAAAAAAAH!" and then bursts into flames, disappearing.

The whole crowd, though they've just witnessed probably one of the biggest fights in the tournament so far, all glanced at each other in confusion of what had just happened.

Mileena and Kitana both couldn't believe how much Scorpion was deceived after having suffered so much. But they felt glad that the truth was finally out and both hoped that Quan-Chi would one day pay for what he'd done. They both formed a little smile to each other, which didn't go unnoticed by Nitara, who too formed a little smile. However, Sindel then noticed her daughters were smiling to each other… and were holding hands, which made her frown.

Shao Kahn slammed the railing of the balcony, being furious at Raiden "You forget yourself, Raiden! You're not allowed to interfere in the tournament!"

Raiden glanced back to Shao Kahn while still helping Sub-Zero to remain at his feet and puts Sub-Zero's arm around his neck "I believe the rules of Mortal Kombat don't say that summoning dead spirits to change someone's mind if he or she should spare his opponent isn't allowed or be considered to be 'interference in the tournament'."

As Raiden glanced at Harumi's spirit, Scorpion's wife gave a nod and softly said "Thank you, Lord Raiden…" and slowly vanished as she rose back to the heavens.

The Earthrealm warriors were all shocked, confused and relieved at the same time. Johnny 13 said "Uhm… okay… so, at least Bi-Han is being spared from being killed. That's a good thing, right?" he asked his friends.

Raiden then came up with a wounded Sub-Zero. While Smoke and Danny helped him to sit down on a couch, Raiden sighed in relief that he not only managed to safe Sub-Zero from being killed, but had also revealed the truth of Quan-Chi being the one who was the real murderer of Scorpion's family and had deceived the Lin Kuei to slaughter his clan.

The Thunder God took a look at his amulet, hoping some cracks would be healed. But instead… more cracks appeared, which made Raiden worried, seeing that by sparing Sub-Zero hasn't changed future.

Shao Kahn called, having had enough of this display "Let us retire for the evening. The tournament will resume in two days."

A few hours later…

(Outworld – Beach Resort)

And so, after the people went back to their homes and Shao Kahn and his followers returned to the castle, the Earthrealm warriors were escorted back to the Resort.

All the remaining Earthrealm warriors had gathered at the beach, to say goodbye to the fallen who'd they've lost today at the tournament as their bodies were put on pyres. Raiden then used several lighting strikes to put the pyres on, letting their bodies being burned as their spirits would move on to the afterlife.

Danny and Ember both held hands, while Johnny comforted Kitty.

For Sub-Zero, who was now recovered thank to Raiden's healing ability, it was a hard moment for him as almost all his Lin Kuei were killed today. Cyrax and Smoke, despite they too mourn for the death of the other Lin Kuei including for Sektor and Chan, they would be at their friend and grand master's side no matter what and finish this tournament.

Meanwhile…

(Outworld – Shao Kahn's palace)

In the deep, cold and dark levels below the palace, was the Soul Chamber. Inside the larege strange statue head of a smiling and roaring horned beast, the creation of Shang Tsung, Ermac, was inside the statue's head, beginning his rejuvenation process.

Shao Kahn, who was with Shang Tsung as they watched the newly created warrior regenerating himself, the emperor said "Your new creation has sure showed up to its expectations. You have done well, sorcerer."

Shang Tsung made a bow "Thank you, emperor. I only wish to serve."

"That you do," Shao Kahn said before he asked "So, anything unusual to report as you're in charge of the security now?"

Shang Tsung answered "There might be something that my newly created guards have taken notice during the tournament, my liege."

This gave Shao Kahn his full attention "What did you discover?"

"I believe that we found proof that the Outworld Resistance has infiltrated the Mortal Kombat tournament. As we speak, they might have infiltrated our ranks already for a long time."

"WHAT?!" Shao Kahn called in anger. Not tolerating any kind of treason, he ordered Shang Tsung "I want you to make this your top priority, sorcerer. If what you say is true, then we have a lot of traitors to deal with." The emperor then made his leave, going back to his chambers.

Shang Tsung then glanced back at Ermac, being proud of having created such a worthy warrior.

Out of the shadows, the figure wearing long black robes appeared and approached Shang Tsung.

Without looking at his contact, Shang Tsung smirked as he still glanced at Ermac being rejuvenated "The ecto-plasmic energy you've provide us from Earthrealm has shown to be more useful than anticipated."

The shadowing figure smirked evilly "I told you that I am a man of my word."

"You sure do." Then Shang Tsung wandered and asked his contact "But tell me: Why do you choose to remain in the shadows and not showing yourself into the light? My emperor will highly reward you for your services."

Still evilly smirking, the shadowing figure answered "Good things comes to those who wait, Shang Tsung. And I will reveal myself, when the time is right."

"As you wish." Shang Tsung said before the shadowing figure left.

As the shadowing figure walked passed the prison, suddenly, one of the inmates slammed on the iron bars "Hey, Freakshow! Yeah, I'm talking to you!"

The figure stopped and turned towards the inmate, chuckling evilly as he approached the cell and mocked him "Feeling comfortable in there, Mr. Johnny Cage?"

The inmate, revealing to be the action-superstar and martial artist, Johnny Cage, said sarcastically "Oh yes, it sure is. Hardly any rats." Than he attempted to grab the shadowing figure, but was unable to "Now get me out of here, you big ass fuck!"

Another inmate, revealing to be Sonya Blade, called to the figure from her cell next to Johnny Cage's "Trust me, if you won't get us out of here now, I'm gonna use you as my personal punch bag!"

That comment made Johnny Cage form a goofy smile at her for saying that "Oh man, that's so hot." That only made Sonya roll her eyes.

In the cell, opposite of Johnny Cage, Jax grabbed the iron bars and asked the shadowing figure "Why the hell have you even brought us here anyway? Why didn't you killed us along with those other two guys; Liu Kang and Kung Lao?"

The shadowing figure chuckled as he stated "Oh, just so that you and your partner, along with that clown of an action-star wouldn't ruin Shao Kahn's plans to take over Earthrealm."

"HEY!" Johnny Cage called in protest "Who're you calling a clown, jackass?! I HAPPENED TO BE THE GREATEST ACTION-STAR IN ALL OF HOLLYWOOD!"

Jax rolled his eyes "Yeah, sure you are, Johnny."

"OH I AM! And once I'm getting out of here, I'm gonna sue you so far up your ass that you'll wish you would have left me for dead!" Johnny told the figure.

"Really now?" the shadowing figure asked while turning over to Johnny Cage, reminding him while he evilly smirked "Nobody knows that you or your friends are here. Everybody on Earth thinks that you, along with Sonya Blade and Jackson Briggs are dead. Nobody will come for any of you. So, take my advice: Swear allegiance to Shao Kahn now while you still can. If want to live that is."

"Ha! I don't think so!" Sonya called, refusing to side with Shao Kahn.

Johnny Cage give him the finger.

Jax thought for a moment "Hmmm. You know what? I'm going with a big ass 'no' on this one, my very good sir." Then he smirked at him, having known his real name all alone "Or should I call you… Vlad Plasmius?"

That surprised the shadowing figure before he evilly laughed as he removed his hood, confirming that the shadowing figure who'd provided Shang Tsung with information and the knowledge of ecto-plasm was none other than Danny Phantom's archnemesis: the evil half-ghost, Vlad Plasmius!

"My, my," Vlad Plasmius said "You do have sharp eyes, Major Briggs. I'm impressed that you figured it out by yourself."

Both Johnny Cage and Sonya shared a shocked expression that it was Vlad Plasmius all along who'd kidnapped them and had killed Liu Kang and Kung Lao.

"No fucking WAY!" Johnny Cage said in shock "But… You're suppose to be dead! I mean, well, you kinda were lost into outer space, three years ago."

"Yeah, how in the fuck are you even here and still alive?!" Sonya demanded.

Vlad Plasmius answered as he glanced to Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade "Well, let's just say that during my twenty years after I gained my ghost powers and build my fortune by stealing loads of money and antiques, I also had learned about the existence of Mortal Kombat after I stumbled upon an ancient temple. Feeling how valuable this discovery was, I kept all of it to myself and studied all about its history, about Outworld, the Elder Gods and the many other realms throughout the universe. That day, when I was lost in outer-space after my plans were foiled of becoming ruler of the world cause of that business with the Disasteroid, I suddenly remembered an ancient dark magical pact that I learned about. Not wanting to spend my remaining time in space, I sealed a pact by offering my services. And so, I ended up here, in Outworld, helping to ensure Shao Kahn's victory over Earthrealm with all I had to provide. All that I asked was just a tiny bit of what I always wanted: power and live as a king." Vlad Plasmius finished with an evil smirk, revealing how he'd survived and was now aligned with Shao Kahn.

"You sick bastard!" Sonya angrily slammed the bars of her cell "You would betray your own planet, just so you could have a fucking crown on your head?!"

Vlad Plasmius gave a shrug "Oh, not just a crown, miss Blade. Power greater than what the Ghost-Zone could offer me. Powers beyond my wildest dreams. And when I have it all, nobody will be able to stop me! Bwhahahahaha!" Plasmius evilly laughed as he floated up the ceiling, turning intangible and phased through the ceiling.

Johnny Cage sighed "Oh, great. First being kidnapped into some kind of other dimension to learn that the fate of the world is determined by some sort of 'karate tournament', and now it turns out that the most wanted and hated person on Earth was alive this whole time and is now working along that asshole called Shao Kahn? Are you kidding me?!"

Sonya shook her head as she sat on the ground, with her back to the wall "This isn't good. How are we suppose to stop him and this emperor if we're stuck here?"

Jax didn't liked that kind of attitude from his partner and called to Sonya "Don't talk like that, soldier!" but then he sighed, feeling like he'd almost all hope "Ugh! Who am I kidding? We've tried hundreds of methods to get out of here, but all our plans didn't work. Nobody on Earth knows that we're here."

Johnny sighed in defeat, and too sat down with his back to the wall, which was exactly on the same position of Sonya's on the other side. He then just tried to cheer up the mood a bit by saying "Well, despite this is the worst month of my entire life… I'm happy to share it with you guys. And you too, Sonya." He finished in a flirty way.

Sonya rolled her eyes "You know, if we were in the same cell right now, I would have kicked your nuts many times over," but then she smiled "But yeah… it was great to get to know you better Johnny, despite you're acting like a fool most of the times."

Johnny Cage gave a shrug and admitted "Yeah, well… after all we've been through, I do might have to change a couple of things if we ever get back home, and I also mean fix myself from the inside, not just physically." Then he offered "So, maybe if we do get out of here, maybe we could go out together sometime? I know a few good places in LA that-"

"Not a chance, Johnny Cage." Was Sonya's immediate answer.

"Okay… then what about go out for a drink? No strings attached and now physical contact or whatsoever." Johnny offered instead, to at least try to score a sorta date with Sonya as he liked her the moment they met.

Sonya thought for a minute, till she answered "Hmmmm… I'll think about. IF we ever get out of here, that is."

Johnny sighed deep as he stared at his caged ceiling "Yeah… I hope so too…"


Several hours later, as it was deep in the night, Mileena sneaked down the hallway leading to Kitana's room, having avoided any of the guards or anyone else.

She then knocked on the door and softly said "Kitana. It's me."

Kitana slowly opened the door with a sweet smile and gestured her sister to enter, which she did. Once Mileena was inside her room, Kitana locked the door behind her and Mileena instantly grabbed Kitana into a passionate kiss, which Kitana gladly returned as their tongues made contact and danced like a tango in their mouths, making them moan.

After a few minutes of tongue kissing and touching each other around their backs, breasts and between their legs, Kitana slowly broke the kiss and softly said "Come…" she held both Mileena's hands, letting her follow her into her large bathroom. In the middle of Kitana's large bathroom, was a big bathtub filled with warm/hot water and had lots of soap suds.

Upon seeing what Kitana had in mind, Mileena bite her lip as she and Kitana quickly got out of their dresses and took off their shoes till they were completely nude.

As they stepped into the hot bath hand in hand and lay down into the water and soap suds, both began to softly kiss.

Mileena began to giggle as being in bath together with all this soap suds made her to remember of when she and Kitana were only children "You remember we always shared our baths when we were young and putted too much soap in the bath?"

Kitana giggled too, remembering those moments "Yeah. You put so much soap in the bath that nearly all the bathroom was full of it. Hihihihihi. I still feel bad for the servants that they had to clean everything every time."

Mileena nodded "Yes," but then she sighed as she softly rubbed Kitana's breasts and moved her right hand down to her pussy "But now… this'll make another wonderful memory… as I'm sharing it with the women I love…"

Kitana softly moaned as they shared a kiss "Then let's enjoy this moment every last second, Mileena… tonight, I'm all yours…"

"And I am yours… my dear Kitana…" Mileena softly answered as tears formed in her eyes and both shared a passionate kiss, making love in the hot bath.

Tonight, the two lesbian Outworld princesses would share an amazing passionate night, which they would cherish forever…

A/N: I sure hope you all liked how this chapter unfolded and the many surprises that I placed in it?

Sure, I was a bit doubting if I should just let Scorpion kill Bi-Han as it always happens in Mortal Kombat, but the idea of exploring what would have happened if Scorpion spared Bi-Han has rarely been explored. And seeing how it would make my story more awesome, I did just that. Now how Scorpion would help the Earthrealm warriors with the truth out that Quan-Chi being responsible for the death of his family and clan, is something I want to keep as a surprise.

I bet the revelation of the shadowing figure being Vlad Plasmius was something none of you had expected, huh? Oh trust me, his involvement, being on Shao Kahn's side, will deeply affect the story later on. But as I said, I want to keep most of it as a surprise. And yeah, I figured that since there are some people who were disappointed that Johnny Cage and some of the original Earthrealm warriors are dead, that I decided that Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Jax are actually alive and have been held captive in Outworld for over a month.

Anyway, I hope you all like the many fights I put in this chapter, and the lemon scenes.

I will be working on a few of my other stories before I'm gonna make another one or two chapters for this crossover, but don't worry, I will come back, that's a promise ;)

See you all then!
