I don't own, JoJo DIU or MKX
Chapter 5: Revenant Beatdown! The Scorpion's Revenge!? And The Elder God Released!
Jax and Kenshi were walking through the Netherrealm, they were planning to ambush Quan Chi and catch him. They met up with a woman named Sareena, she explained that Quan Chi's powers are getting weaker.
Jax: "Sareena's dead-on. He doesn't have Shinnok's amulet as a power source. He's still Quan Chi, though." Jax said firmly.
Kenshi: "I realize you agreed to guide and observe. But you are welcome to assume any roll you wish." Kenshi told Jax.
Jax: "I'm too rusty. I don't want to jeopardize the mission." Jax said with a sigh.
Kenshi nodded and Sareena warns them of Quan Chi approach, he along with the Revenants were riding on demon horses. When they were close enough, the S-F soldiers opened fire on Quan Chi and the Revenants.
It was chaotic for them for a moment, Sindel moved out of the way and fired a purple energy ball that hit one of the soldiers, killing them. Then Skryker fired his gun blowing a hole in another soldier's head. One of the soldiers hit Quan Chi's horse, knocking him off and to the ground, Liu Kang jumped off his horse to help Quan Chi. Some soldiers were about to fire but Kabal on his horse, charged at them and cut their heads off.
Jax: "Shit." He said as he watched.
Kenshi joined the fight as rushed Kabal and knocked off the horse. Liu Kang helps Quan Chi from under his horse and as more soldiers came rushing at them, he fires a dark fireball, killing them. He and Kung Lao help Quan Chi retreat, Jax sees this and can't just let them get away. Kung Lao sees this and stops him.
Kung Lao: "Do not interfere, Jackson Briggs. Go back into hiding." The revenant commanded.
Jax: "Hiding, I guess I have been." He stated plainly.
The fight begun, Revenant Kung Lao quickly jump at the retired major and first attacks with a left kick that gets Jax across the face, he then kicked in the chest, and hit in the ribs by a right punch and knock to the ground. Revenant Kung Lao pull off his hat and tries to cut Jax's head off, but he uses his right metal arm to block and with his other, he blasts Revenant Kung Lao in the chest and that stuns him a bit and Jax uses that to give him a repeat punch in the face with both metal fist. Revenant Kung Lao pushes Jax back with a palm thrust to his chest, and then he attacks with a left kick, Jax blocks it and even though he's haven't fought in a long time that doesn't mean he's lost all of his spirit. As Revenant Kung Lao goes to throw his blade hat to cut him in half, Jax deflect it with his metal arm and then grab the revenant by his neck and start pounding his face with his fist and then knocks him back with a blast.
Revenant Kung Lao glares at Jax and charges him and starts throwing punches and kicks with greater force than before, Jax block to the best of his abilities but his age and lack of training show themselves as he knocked back and beating down a bit. Jax grits his teeth and gets his act together and when Revenant Kung Lao goes for a right punch Jax blocks it and counters with left hook that slam against his cheek and then follow up and a right elbow to the face, then hammer fist to the neck, Revenant Kung Lao gasp for a moment and Jax uses that chance to slam both fist into the revenant's face.
Kung Lao sneers and quickly teleports behind Jax and kicks him in his ribs then punches him across the face, and then a uppercut, and then the revenant knocks him down with a elbow slam. Jax cough up a bit of blood, he roll out the way as Revenant Kung Lao tries to crush his skull with his foot. He hit him with a barrage of energy blast from his metal arms, the undead warrior grunt in pain and then throws his blade hat, but Jax ducks under it and pummeled down the revenant into the ground over and over again until his body breaks the ground from the force of Jax's beatdown. Jax was winded after that but he won, and was beginning to feel like his old self again.
Jax: "That knocked some of my rust off."
More soldiers fired at Quan Chi and Revenant Liu Kang, but he fires a dark fireball and that killed the soldiers. They continue to retreat, and as Jax takes aim with a gun, he knocks back by Sindel's screeching! He almost fell into a lava stream but he managed to keep a firm grip on the ledge, but then Sindel steps on his metal hand to try and make him fall but as she goes to step on it again, Jax pulls her legs and both fall off the ledge! Thinking quickly, she uses her hair to wrap around a rock formation and pull both of them to safety. Both get up and ready to fight.
Sindel: "Welcome home, Jackson Briggs." She said with a smirk.
Jax: "This hell, is NOT my home." He said firmly with disgust.
Sindel: "Then why be foolish enough to return?" She asked.
Jax: "I have a family to protect." He answered.
Sindel: "Quan Chi reunited me with my family." Sindel said somewhat sadistically. "He will do the same for you!"
No way in hell would Jax even let Quan Chi touch his family! Already feeling anger and bitter now facing the woman that killed him in the first place, he's now in a worser mood. And takes it out on her! Time for some payback. Jax charged at Sindel, he first cocks back his fist and then swing it across Sindel's face, then follows up with a swinging uppercut, and then wraps it up with a hard punch to the gut. Sindel skid across the ground and glares at Jax, she releases a blast of energy from her mouth that knocks Jax back when he blocks it, she then wraps her hair around his left leg and then swing him down and across the ground, Jax coughs a bit as his old body isn't as sturdy as it used to be. He slowly gets up and just into time to avoid another blast from Sindel and counters with his own.
Jax then hit Sindel with a few good jabs that bash her across the face and chest, she counter by grabbing both of his hand and tries to do to him what she did last time, stabbing him in the neck with her heel! But Jax used all his strength and swings her, face first into the ground and then does is X-ray to finish it up. Sindel sneers as she slowly and tries to kill Jax with heel kick meant to pierce the back of his head, but he ducks under it an hammer fist Sindel's face into the ground, then gets her by the throat and beat her face in with a few good heavy punches from his metal fist! She knock across the ground and before she could get up she blast a few times and then Jax cups his metal fist together and with all his might, he slams his fist right in Sindel's face and into the ground, taking her out.
Jax: "Quan Chi's not helping you."
The fight raged on, as Kenshi clashed with Revenant Kabal, and Sareena fought with Revenant Kitana, Sareena was pushed back by the edenian revenant.
Sareena: "It is possible to escape Quan Chi, Kitana. I can aid you as Bi-Han aided me." She said almost pleading.
Kitana: "You became too familiar with Bi-Han. Allow emotion to corrupt you." She stated.
Sareena: "Emotion freed me!"
The two fought some more as Sareena was able to push Kitana back for a while, but then the revenant princess got the edge and was about to finish Sareena off.
Jax: "I don't understand, Kitana. I mean, I hated the things I did here. But you enjoy being a revenant." He said with pity.
Kitana: "It suits me, I am a victim no longer."
The two fight for a moment, but it came to a stop when Jax is able to punch her.
Jax: "Yeah, I know what you mean… but this ain't the way to assert yourself."
The fight continued as Revenant Kitana threw her war fans at Jax with the intent to leave a fatal wound, but he blocks with his metal arms and charges at her as they spin and created spark from grinding against his arms. Jax then hit Kitana with an uppercut that made her stagger back but then Jax grabs her by the throat and lands two solid punches that knock her back. She glares and counters with a roundhouse kick across the face then a spin kick to the right side and then a straightforward kick which cracks a few ribs, but Jax endured it and took a knee. Kitana ready her fans and as she was about to cut his head off, she didn't see a surprise uppercut that follows up with an energy blast that has her flying and then falls to the ground.
Kitana lunged at Jax, and moved with lighting fast speed and attacks with a barrage of kicks that batter him a bit, she then gets him with a knee to the gut and then a high kick across the face, and finished it with a heel kick to the right leg. Jax grunts in pain and tries to back away but Revenant Kitana rushes him instantly and deliver a right roundhouse kick to his chest and then a left one, and then backflip kick to the chin, Jax spit up blood and brace himself as he hit in the gut with a right straightforward kick to the gut. Kitana ready her war fans as she goes to remove Jax's head, but the retired major dodge it… just barely. The blade grazed his right cheek, he's able to deliver a killer counter with a hard left hook across the face that give Jax the chance to follow up with a hard right hook and then elbow her in the face.
The revenant princess skid across the ground, she glares at him. Kitana then swings her war fans at full force and creates a razor sharp whirlwind, Jax dodge it as best as he could but gets a few cuts on his chest, legs, and his arms as they guarded his face. He counters by firing energy blast from his metal arms and hitting Kitana a few times, she quickly charges him and swung both of her war fans down on him in a pincers motion but Jax first blocked the bladed fans and then grabs her by the throat and delivers two punches to the face and that knocks her back. She gets up and throw one of her war fan, it flies through the air like a knife through butter, he blocks it with his right arm and it bounce off leaving a cut, but it was a diversion for Kitana as she quickly lunged at him and stabs her other fan that was close in his left shoulder, Jax grunted in pain and then grab the Revenant Kitana's wrist and give her a bone-crunching uppercut and then follow up with a few more hard punches to the face, after the it was done. Kitana was out.
Jax: "I gotta believe there's hope for you."
After the fighting was over, the Revenants retreated along with Quan Chi, Jax was looking and saw a lot of dead soldiers.
Jax: "Mother o' god."
He checked up with Sareena and Kenshi, who suffered an injury on his right leg. Sareena was looking over a wounded soldier.
Kenshi: "We've lost many. The rest are wounded." He stated.
Jax: "And our "friends"?" He asked already knowing the answer.
Sareena: "The tide turned against them. They fled."
Jax: "How are two doin'?"
Kenshi: "I'm fine." But then his leg acted up.
Jax: "That's what I thought." He then turns and moves out.
Sareena: "Where are you going?"
Jax: "Gonna bag me a sorcerer."
Kenshi: "Alone?" He asked in shock.
Sareena: "You'll be killed!" But he just turns to them.
Jax: "Wouldn't be the first time." He said plainly, focus on his goal.
He then made his way to Quan Chi's lair, where said sorcerer and the revenant of Liu Kung were hiding out.
Liu Kung: "In your weakened state, is it possible for you to release Shinnok?"
Quan Chi: "I am more than capable?"
Liu Kung: "And D'Vorah? Are you sure she is capable? And what of… the boy?" He asked but sneered the last part in rage.
Quan Chi: "She will bring me the amulet. And the boy will perish."
Jax: "And I'll be waitin' for her." He stated. "And what are you plannin' Quan Chi?" He sneered that question.
Quan Chi: "Jackson Briggs. A pleasant surprise." He calmly said, and dodge the other question.
Jax: "Nothin' pleasant about it." He sneered.
Then Revenant Liu Kung jumped in readying a dark fireball.
Liu Kung: "So you return to Raiden, the foolish follow fools." He said in disapproval. And throws the dark fireball, but Jax was able to dodge it.
Jax: "Raiden did his best. He saved Earthrealm." He said calmly.
Liu Kung: "He murder me!" He shouted in rage. And throw another one, which Jax dodge as well.
Jax: "That's isn't true." He said firmly. And dodge another dark fireball.
Liu Kung: "You were not there! He stole everything from me!" He shouted with more rage. And throw another one, but Jax deflected it! Much to Quan Chi's shock. "You do not deserve to rejoin one of us." Jax just glared at the revenant.
Revenant Liu Kung threw another dark fireball and Jax deflected it with his right, then another was thrown at him and he deflected it with his left, and punched his metal fist into his hand.
Liu Kung: "Instead you will learn… There are worse things than death."
Before even a moment passed, Revenant Liu Kung rushed at Jax and hit him with a fast barrage of punches to the chest, knocking him back. He cough up blood and from the power behind the attack, Liu Kung then does a flying kick to the chest which cracked a few more ribs and had him hitting the ground. Jax groans in pain and slowly gets back to his feet, when Liu Kung rush him to deliver another kick, Jax blast him and then follow up with a counter that was a punch to the face, he then charges at Liu Kung and attack with a few heavy jabs to his face and chest.
The revenant staggers back and glares at Jax, he then attacks with regular fire to burn Jax, but he's able to avoid it and delivers a right hook and then follows up with a left hook. Liu Kung was pushed back a bit and then felt a bit of blood rundown his cheek, he sneered at Jax and then lit his fist on fire and rushes him to attack with a fiery fist barrage! Jax meant his charge, feeling like his old self, even if it just a little meant the former chosen one's charge and the two clash fist as fire meets metal! Jax land a right blow across Liu Kung's face, he land a left blow on Jax chest, Jax delivers a uppercut while landing a gut punch, Jax cups his fist together and slam it on Liu Kung hand but then is hit with upward right kick from the revenant, he back up a bit and fire a blast at Liu Kung that cancel out back a dark fireball, he then attack with his jump kicking barrage knocking Jax back as he tries to block with his arms. Jax spit out a bit of blood, he suffered a few burns and bruises but trucks on… for Jacquie.
As Liu Kung throws a right hook aimed for Jax's face, his fist was caught by Jax, when he goes for another punch that fist is caught as well. Jax grits his teeth and tighten his grip on them, making Revenant Liu Kung grunt in pain and tries to retreat but Jax has a literal iron grip on them and even when Liu Kung kicks him in his sides a few times that just makes him tighten his grip even more… until, he crushes both of his hands! Liu Kung screams in pain as his fingers are bending the wrong way. He glares at Jax and attack a with a flying kick but Jax block it and quick grab his right leg by the ankle and crush it a bit making Liu Kung scream from more pain, but that doesn't end as Jax ragdoll him by slamming him against the floor over and over again, finish this fight, Jax holds Revenant Liu Kung up with both hands and will of his might, he slams him into the floor! He was panting heavily, he wasn't as durable as he used to be but he was still kicking.
Jax: "I wish I could help you, Liu Kung." He said sadly.
He turned to Quan Chi with a glare and slowly walked up to him, he had enough of his shit.
Quan Chi: "Jax… there is no need for hostility-" He tried to plead.
Jax: "Just stop talking." He growled, and delivered a strong uppercut that knocked Quan Chi out. "S'good to be back." He stated, and then calls Kenshi. "Kenshi. I got 'im."
Kenshi: *Excellent work.*
Jax: "I'm staying here. D'Vorah's on her way. You need to get Quan Chi to Sonya. She'll make him spill his guts."
And so it was done, but unknown to Jax was that he ended up saving Okuyasu and Jacqui. As both were sweaty, bloody, and tired out as a magical clone of Quan Chi disappeared.
A few hours earlier, The trail to D'Vorah ran cold, so search for her. Okuyasu was mediating so he could rest his body and focus his chi to heal his injuries. He first focused on his bone as a few were either cracked or broken from his fights, next the muscle and organs that suffered bruising, after while he joined the search, he wasn't at 100% but he was able to walk without discomfort.
Everyone split up to cover more ground, Cassie had Takeda, Okuyasu had Jacqui, and Kung Jin wanted to go alone. Right Okuyasu was seeing if he could track D'Vorah by sensing her chi but he was having little luck, for someone her size he should have been able to track her but her presence was that of a mosquito and in this jungle it was next to impossible!
Jacqui: "Any luck?" She asked feeling hopeful.
Okuyasu: "None." He sighed frustration. "It's like hunting for an ant in a dirt pile."
Jacqui: "Damn."
Okuyasu: "Yeah." He agreed with Jacqui.
It was quiet, Okuyasu tried thinking of a different way to track down D'Vorah. He saw Jacqui's was thinking of something else, more likely her father and his trip to the Netherrealm.
Okuyasu: "Your dad is going to be fine, Jacqui." He assured her.
Jacqui: "I know, it just… after everything he's been through. I don't want him to suffer anymore because he feels like he needs to make up for all the stuff he did as a Revenant." She said feeling down.
Okuyasu placed a hand on her shoulder, she just looked at him and saw he was giving her a soft look.
Okuyasu: "He'll be fine. If anyone beside Mr. Cage and Kenshi can handle the Netherrealm, it's your dad." He said firmly. "Have faith in him." He said softly.
Jacqui: "Your right, thanks for that Okuyasu." She said with a soft smile.
Okuyasu: "No problem." He said with a smirk.
They two share a wholesome moment, Jacqui was grateful to Okuyasu for cheering her up. And Okuyasu admired Jacqui's beauty. But the moment was so ruined, as a green skull came and was about to blast them but Okuyasu moved them out the way. He turned to glare at whatever did it, and glared ever harder when he saw a magical copy of Quan Chi, it was the same one that was talking to D'Vorah.
Okuyasu: "Quan Chi, how the hell are you here?" He sneered, taking a fighting stance.
Quan Chi: *To finish up loose ends.* The magical copy stated.
Jacqui glared and gritted her teeth in anger, he was the source and fault for her father's suffering, she back up Okuyasu as she takes her stance as well.
Jacqui: "You scumbag. I'll make you pay for enslaving my father." She growled.
Quan Chi: *You stand no chance, daughter of Jackson Briggs. I will end your sad existence.* The copy stated.
Okuyasu: "You'll have to get through him first." He said seriously.
Quan Chi: *Once I end you both, you serve me… and soon Shinnok.*
Jacqui: "In your dream, dipshit."
Okuyasu: "We'll stop you, and put an end to you and D'Vorah."
And so the fight begins, Okuyasu charged at the magical copy while dodging more skull blast and delivering a heel kick across the head. The copy Quan Chi staggered a bit, Okuyasu coated his foot in chi before the impact to damage the copy. The Quan Chi copy just "hmm" and could countered with a kick to the head, Okuyasu gritted his teeth and then rushed for an attack while his fists are coated in chi and strikes with a uppercut and then a left hook and a right hook. The copy charged forward and fires a barrage of skull blast, Okuyasu dodge them and hits the copy with a straight forward right punch, but the copy caught the fist and counter with a punches to the face and then blasts Okuyasu in the chest at full power, the Stand User gasp and coughs up a little blood and falls to his knee. As the copy was about to finish off Okuyasu, it's blindsided with a blow to the back of the head, and its from Jacqui.
Jacqui: "You're not taking anyone else from me." She sneered.
She powers up her gauntlets and charges forward, holding nothing back! She hits the copy with a hard right hook and then a mad left hook then follows up with an uppercut, then a hammer fist to the neck, and finishes by cupping her fist together and slams them upward making the copy hit the ground. If the copy was the real deal, there would be blood and maybe a few broken bone, the copy glitch a bit but was able to get up and blast Jacqui in the chest knocking her back, but Okuyasu caught her and look to see if she took any damage and was thankful that she only suffer a bruise, he sneers at the fake Quan Chi, but doesn't have time to do anything else as he jumps out the way as more energy skull are fired at them. He place Jacqui down, and then rushes forward with his arms overlapping with his Stand and attacks with a furious barrage of punches, that pushes the copy back but it able to block and dodge the barrage and delivers a heavy jab to the face, that makes Okuyasu stagger a bit and then he gets a bit of blood coming down his nose but when he tries to counter back, the fake Quan Chi block again and punches him in the gut and hit Okuyasu with a combo that knocks him back.
Sense he wasn't fully healed yet his body was still sore and the damage he took made him caught up blood, he doesn't falter that easily and delivers a knee coated chi to the chin and a chi coated left roundhouse kick. The copy staggered back, but Okuyasu wasn't finished and delivers a powerful uppercut and quickly grabs the copy by the foot and slam it into the ground and drop an ax kick to the back of it's head. It glitch again but was able to get up and punch Okuyasu in the gut with more power then it had before and that made him cough up blood but he reacted quickly and slam his right elbow into the copy's head, but it wasn't enough as the copy dropkick him in the gut again. Okuyasu felt a few bones crack from the blow, he takes a knee as he pants but as the magical Quan Chi copy ready another skull blast but it was blasted in the back by Jacqui, the copy turns and was meant with a hard solid punch to the face! She attack with her own combo of punches and is able to push back the copy.
The copy glitch a bit more but before it could counter, Okuyasu swung and slammed both of his fist upside the copy's head. He and Jacqui work together to take turn beating down the copy and covering each other's backs, the copy fires a barrage of energy skulls so Jaqui sways and dodges them any that she can't are taken care by Okuyasu as he erases any that came at him and then Okuyasu swing Jacqui towards the copy and she blasts it a few times and when she close she slams her right fist across the face making it stagger and Okuyasu follows up with a ax kick to the left shoulder, Jacqui gives it a uppercut, then Okuyasu gives it a right hook, and Jacqui follows with a left hook, then the two cock by their fist at the same them slam into the face of the copy knocking back as it slam into a trees and was glitching a lot more. Okuyasu and Jacqui were panting from how long they been fighting but before they could catch their breaths, both were pelleted with a barrage of energy skulls that knocks both of them down, as they tries to get up Okuyasu was first to get hit across the face by a punches from the copy and hit with a combo of punches and kicks which crack more bone and added more bruises, he gritted his teeth and block as best he could, next was Jacqui as she was meet with the same fate but she was able to block better, both were bruise up, sweaty, and bloody. The copy was about to finish them once and for all but then it was struck with a full power straight forward right punches from Jacqui as she maximize the power of her gauntlets and blast the copy away, then Okuyaus follow up by charging a blast of chi and turning it into lighting, he learn a bit of sorcery in his travels and training with Raiden, but he was unable to master such a skill, yet. With all his might, Okuyasu fires the blast and blows away the copy of the necromancer, it was unable to get up after that and give off a bit of static and glitched.
Okuyasu: "This loose end, is going to be the end of your plans."
Jacqui: "I hope you remember that for the rest of your life, because that's was for enslaving my dad."
Both took a break as Okuyasu wheezed and clenched his left side, his fight with Goro and then later Ermac worsened the wound he received from, Kotal Kahn. Jacqui wasn't as bad and looked to only take a few scrapes and bruises, with a little blood. Just then the copy got back up, Okuyasu put Jacqui behind him and brace himself for another tustle, but it never came. Because the copy disappeared before it could counter back.
Okuyasu inhaled and then exhaled and then he touched Jacqui's left cheek with his left hand and then focused his chi and healed her injuries while doing the same for his own which would need more time and focus. But for now healing his bruise and cracked bone was all he could do right now. She blush as his hand felt warm but rough and solid from years of training.
Okuyasu: "You feel better now?" He asked her, with a smile.
Jacqui: "Y-Yeah." She said with a blush, feeling better.
Okuyasu: "That's good."
Soon all of her injuries were healed, as for Okuyasu some of his recent and minor injuries were healed, they headed back to regroup and as they walked Okuyasu couldn't help but stare at her large ass once and while. Soon everyone regrouped after their source for D'Vorah turned up nothing, they tried to come up with something else. Okuyasu was glad he and Jacqui survived their fight, be he hope they can get to D'Vorah before the real Quan Chi gets to the amulet.
At the camp of S-F the had Quan Chi in cuffs, as Kenshi and Johnny Cage guide him to a holding cell until they can transport him elsewhere.
Kenshi: "Sit." He ordered.
And then they place cuffs on his legs to make sure he couldn't escape.
Johnny: "I'm guessing it's not your first time in cuffs. What's your safeword?" He joked. Quan Chi just looked at him. They locked him up and more forward with their plan.
Sonya: "Advise secretary Blake that Quan Chi is in custody. We'll be moving him to the supermax facility at Fort Charles within the hour." She ordered.
"Yes ma'am." They said and left to do so.
Sonya: "You two stand guard. Prisoner transfer will be here in twenty."
Johnny: "Oh. Now she trusts to babysit." He said being a smartass. Sonya just shot him a look.
Sonya: "Cage, report."
Cassie: *We haven't caught up to D'Vorah. We had her track to the Makebafi Cliffs, but the trail went closed.*
Sonya: "Damn."
Cassie: *Jacqui thinks D'Vorah's unique physiology may allow us to pinpoint her location. She's retooling her smart-comm to track D'Vorah's pheromones.* As she said that, members of the Shirai-Ryu and their leader, Hanzo Hashi formerly known as Scorpion, appeared.
Scorpion: "On my command only." He stated. "Wound. Do not kill." He ordered.
Cassie: *We're looking at… two hours?*
Sonya: "Sergeant, your team doesn't have two hours. We need her found immediately." She said not liking the amount of time it would take to track D'Vorah.
Johnny: "Sonya!" He said a loud whisper.
Sonya: "Cassie, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but there isn't time. Bring your team back. We need to re-group and re-deploy." She said, more calm and gentle.
Cassie: *Yes ma'am.* And sign off.
Johnny: "They're doing their best." He stated calmly.
Sonya: "I know." She said softly.
Kenshi: "General. We have a visitor." He informed, as Scorpion made his way towards them.
Sonya: "You two are friends, right? He tell you he was coming?" She asked, hoping this wouldn't be a problem.
Kenshi: "Nothing."
Scorpion: "General." He bowed.
Sonya: "Master Hasashi, I hadn't received word that you were coming." She said confused.
Scorpion: "I will have Quan Chi." He said firmly.
Sonya: "We have things under control. You can-" She began to explain.
Scorpion: "He must die." He said seriously, cutting her off.
Sonya: "Raiden needs him. Without Quan Chi we can't restore Liu Kung and the other revenants. You'd leave them trapped? Like you were?" She tried to reason with the Shirai Ryu master.
Scorpion: "Only Quan Chi concerns me." He said firmly. And tries to get past Sonya, but she stops him. The tense slowly rises as everything ready's themselves for a potential fight.
Sonya: "Don't do this, Hanzo. I'll put you down." She said seriously.
Scorpion: "Then we are at an impasse." He stated. "Semeru!" And signal his men.
And a battle broke out between the Shirai-Ryu and Special Forces, Sonya and Scorpion fight but he was able to land a blow that knocked her back.
Scorpion: "Quan Chi is mine."
In a moment Sonya charges forward and attacks with a right high kick but it's blocked by Scorpion, but he blocks it and counters with a left low kick Sonya grunt from the pain and throws a fast right hook but Scorpion swayback to avoid it. Sonya "tch" and started throwing a mix of fast punches and heavy kicks to throw off Scorpion and put him down but they were blocks or avoided but a few hits got him but it wasn't enough. She has her drone fire a few shots but Scorpion the deflects them with a sword and teleports behind her and hits her with a left roundhouse kick, she knock to the ground and before she could get up Scorpion pins her to the ground and gets her in a chokehold and then gets her off the ground and throw back into the ground, making sure she hit the back of her head. She's dazed and to finish her off, he hit her across the chin with a heavy lowkick.
Scorpion: "I wish you no harm, General Blade."
Members of the Shirai-Ryu drag her away, Scorpion makes his way to Quan Chi's cell but then Kenshi uses his sword to pick him up and holds him in midair.
Kenshi: "Call of you man, Hanzo!" He asked.
Scorpion: "If you value our friendship, you will give me Quan Chi." He stated.
But instead Kenshi throws him across the ground and has him slam into a jeep and slide onto the ground, Kenshi rushes him with his sword in hand. But Scorpion throws his chain spear to slow down Kenshi, but he slides while leaning backwards. Scorpion quickly tackles him to the ground and separates him from his sword, Kenshi is able to get Hanzo off him and even without his family swords prepares to fight.
Scorpion: "Withdraw. Without Sento you are vulnerable."
But then he tackled by Johnny Cage, the two are soon locked in kombat. Johnny tries attack with a few strike but their block and he hit across the face, he tries attacking with more furious attack he kicked in the chest and skids across the ground he able to get back up and take a more solid stance; Scorpion does the same, they attack but Johnny strike are once again blocked and then Scorpion trips him. Johnny was able to get up and smirks, he could feel his blood pumping now.
Johnny: "Just like old times!"
Johnny starts things off with a shadow kick, it knocks Scorpion back. He skids across the ground and is able to stop himself. He rushes Johnny and attacks with a left roundhouse kick but it blocks and Johnny counters with a heavy left jab. Scorpion throws his spear chain but Johnny was able to catch like before and pull him forward and hit him with a lariat and then kick him in the chest. Scorpion staggers back and teleports behind Johnny to fiery kick from behind that knocks Johnny in the back, then he turn and fling a ball of green energy that blasted Scorpion back, he counters with fireballs that burn Johnny a bit but he able to attack and hits Scorpion with another shadow kick this time to the face.
The Shirai-Ryu master skids across the ground and wipe a bit of blood off his face and rush forward as his rage fuel his resolve to make Quan Chi pay for what he did. He lights his hands on fire and rush Johnny, he coats his arm in a green energy and charges and clashes with the former revenant. They hit and block each other blow-for-blow, Scorpion lands a blow to the chest but then Johnny counters with a left hook across the face, but Scorpion hit Johnny in the right upper leg with a heavy fiery left kick, Johnny counter with a hard uppercut, then both swing their fist with all their might as Johnny goes for a right hook would Scorpion goes for a left hook and then slam their fist against each other faces! A moment passes, Johnny slowly falls to the ground, knocked out. Scorpion wipes the blood off his face.
Scorpion: "Only Quan Chi's death will abate my anger."
More members of the Shirai-Ryu drag away Johnny. Scorpion makes his way again to finish off Quan Chi, Kenshi is still looking for Sento.
Kenshi: "Hanzo, no! You've earned great trust for the Shirai-Ryu. Do not squander it murdering a withered sorcerer!" He tried to reason with his friend.
Scorpion: "That withered sorcerer is the architect of my suffering." He stated, as more members drag away Kenshi.
Scorpion thinks back five years ago, he met up with Kuia Liang formerly known as Tundra and the new Sub-Zero and grandmaster of the Lin-Kuei. He hoped to bury old grudges between their clans and work together in protecting Earthrealm. Scorpion at the time wanted Sub-Zero to admit that his clan hands were cover in the blood of the Shirai-Ryu and his family, Sub-Zero admit that his clans honor was stain and told him after they were resurrected he sought out his members of the Lin-Kuei in hopes that somewhere still human and rebelled, but it never happened, his worse thoughts came true, the Lin-Kuei was fully Cyberized. He pledge to kill Sektor and restore his clans hope, but Scorpion was not interested with Lin-Kuei polites and wanted Sub-Zero to get on with it, so Sub-Zero stated his clan didn't sacrifice their honor with the Cyber initiative, they thrown it away a long time ago. Scorpion was going to comment but the he saw a figure through Sub-Zero bowl and both dodge a ice blast, and it was Frost, the two fought but she was easily overpowered and taken out, Sub-Zero tries to reason with Scorpion but he would not listen the fought against Sub-Zero. Once the fight was over Scorpion was about to finish the grandmaster but then Frost came from behind and was about to stab him with a ice shard but she was frozen by Sub-Zero. He never brought Scorpion for treason, Frost was strong but brash and lacks judgement, he showed him the real reason for bringing him here, and showed him the remains of Sektor's cyber body and what he found within his memories. That it was Quan Chi, who wiped out the Shirai-Ryu and murdered his wife and son. Scorpion was in shock at this and his shock turned into rage, he lived a lie this hold time, he had a chance to get them back before but Quan Chi stole that from him. If Sub-Zero knew of this, their history would play out differently, even though he murdered Sub-Zero's brother because he thought he was the one to kill him, it was Quan Chi that manipulated the situation that had Bi-Han killed. Scorpion pledge to make Quan Chi pay in blood for what he has done to him, his clan, and family!
In the present, Quan Chi was brought before Scorpion. He glared at the sorcerer with great rage and hate.
Scorpion: "Unbind him." He sneered. And it was done.
Quan Chi: "Scorpion, we can-" He tried to reason.
But Scorpion just punches him in the face, as he doesn't even want to hear Quan Chi speak his former name.
Scorpion: "My name is Hanzo Hasashi!" He stated proudly. And then grabs Quan Chi. "You killed my wife! My son!" He shouted enraged. "And then you burrowed your way into my head. Misdirected my vengeance. Cost me my one chance to have them restored!" He shouted with great rage!
Quan Chi: "Your family… I…" But he didn't get to finish, he forced onto his feet and shoved.
Scorpion: "Quiet, sorcerer! Nothing can help you now."
In Quan Chi's current condition he was in no-shape to fight. Scorpion didn't waste time to even let the wicked sorcerer breath as he slammed his fist into his face so hard that blood gushes him his nose and he bash his fist against his face like he was beating down a punching bag. He then grab Quan Chi by his shoulder and knee him in the gut over and over until the sorcerer legs gave out and the he fell to his knees coughing up blood and then Scorpion deliver a few fiery kicks to the gut and makings the sorcerer cough up more blood and even feels some of his bone break. Scorpion pull out both of his swords and uses his hellfire to heat them up and slashes the sorcerer as he grunts in pain from the hot cut he give from all over his body and then Scorpion kicks Quan Chi in the head, neck, chest, and right leg it was so hard that the bone was broken, making him fall but then Scorpion holds Quan Chi but his collar and just goes to town as he beaten his face with a fiery fist and then punches him into the gut some more and chest which breaks a few more ribs, then to his things he does his X-ray on Quan Chi and kicks him to the ground.
Scorpion: "At least, you feel my pain."
He does finish thought, he kicks Quan Chi again as he lays in his back and then slams his head into the ground and punches him in the face, over and over again.
Sonya: "Scorpion, stop!"
D'Vorah then appears and sees what's happening, Scorpion then rushes with his sword drawn and fights off against her insect legs and even able to cut off one of them, but before he could finish her, she is able to stab him and make her way to Quan Chi quickly.
Quan Chi: "Amulet." The batter sorcerer asked weakly. But then he pierce thrust the chest but Scorpion's spear chain.
Scorpion: "Get over here!" And pull him.
D'Vorah: "No!"
Scorpion gets ready to finish him as he raises his sword, time slows down as Quan Chi holds out his amulet and mutters a spell, D'Vorah throws the amulet. And just as he was able to catch the amulet his head was cut off, and both hit the ground.
Scorpion: "Blood for blood. Your debt is paid." And so his revenge was complete, at a price.
But then the amulet released torrent of dark mage as the thing that everyone was trying to prevent was happening.
Johnny: "Oh shit."
Sonya: "Free us! Now!"
But even if that happened, it was too late. The traitor, the embodiment of evil, the god of darkness and ruler of the Netherrealm; Shinnok. Was free and in Earthrealm.
D'Vorah: "Shinnok."
Scorpion tries to take out the Elder God, but Shinnok takes him out without any effort. Johnny, Sonya, and Kenshi try to group up against him but he blast them as well.
Shinnok: "How small they are."
D'Vorah: "This One greets Lord Shinnok."
Shinnok: "Quan Chi chose his servant well." He praised D'Vorah. "He was wise to restore me in Earthrealm, behind their defenses."
D'Vorah: "Quan Chi deceived them. Allowed himself to be captured. He knew they would bring him here."
Shinnok: "A pity he did not live to see his work complete." He said as he looked at the corpse of the necromancer. And then turns to Johnny. "There will be no surprise from you, Mister Cage. Bring him." He ordered D'Vorah. Then the revenant appeared.
Liu Kung: "Praised be Lord Shinnok." He and the other revenant bowed.
Shinnok: "Let us be on our way."
Liu Kung: "There is an Earthrealm force in Netherrealm."
Shinnok: "I am aware. They will be neutralized." And so they leave, with Johnny Cage as their prisoner.
Just as they left, Cassie and her team retired and all of them were shocked. Okuyasu dread the worse, especially when he saw the corpse of Quan Chi.
Cassie: "Oh shit."
They began checking on anyone for injuries. Okuyasu helped Cassie with her mother.
Cassie: "Mom! Where's Dad?" She asked concerned.
Sonya: "Shinnok" She said weakly.
Okuyasu: "No." He said grimly.
Cassie: "Mom, Mom… where'd they go?" She tried to get her mom to answer, but Sonya black out. "Mom!?" She said worried for her mother.
Scorpion: "Your father… Shinnok's prisoner… at the Sky Temple." He told them.
Okuyasu's face became visible pale, that would mean Shinnok was free and was going to attack Raiden, his trembled.
Okuyasu: "No." He said quietly. "No… no… nonononononono. Fucking, No!" He punches a grate in rage as he dented. "No." he whispered. He couldn't lose any else, not again.
Things have taken a turn for the worse, with the release of Shinnok, Earthrealm and the other realm are endangered. Okuyasu dread the worse for his father-figure Raiden as Shinnok makes his way to his Sky Temple.
And done! Sorry for the wait, I was having a hard time getting this how I like but I was able to get it done. I hope you enjoyed it.
What was your favorite part? How do you think okuyasu will feel about Shinnok? Do you think he will be able to handle the Elder God? How do you think he'll feel when he faces Kotal Kahn again? Review me your answers and as always thank you for your support!
Peace!
