Okay, Chapter 2 time!

Last chapter, during a game of 'Truth Or Dare' that Johnny Cage and Sonya were a part of, the former, after the latter took a dare from him(after all, it WAS Sonya who he targeted), was dared to TAKE OFF ALL OF HER CLOTHES IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!

Given his crush on Sonya but it only being one-sided, it shouldn't surprise you that Johnny Cage would go for the jugular like this, now should it?

Anyway, when Sonya has no choice but to take his dare, she quickly turns the tables on him when she has her turn and he takes a dare from her, and let me tell you, like I said in the introduction of the first chapter, both get more than they bargained for with what it all results in(you'll find out how so after you've read about Sonya's dare).

Okay, read on, and be forewarned…this is a chapter that is, in quite a few instances, most likely going to shock you and cause you to burst out laughing, both on high levels of magnitude and in that order, as well.

THINGS TO NOTE:

Like in the last chapter, there will be a chorus of one Eminem song apiece played by Frost, and specifically one that goes hand in hand with what truth or dare(or in this case two dares)has just been made, and this trend will continue on following when it does so now, but I digress.

I own none of the characters. They all belong to their respective franchises, and I don't own any of the "Eminem" songs used here, either, as I'm not said rapper and thus not their creator.

Chapter 2-Cold Consequences

Sonya's eyes flew open so widely that it made the wideness with which everyone else's eyes flew open look narrow as hell(even though they still opened their eyes plenty widely, with the exception that this was all barring Johnny Cage, since he'd made the dare).

"Holy shit! I should have fucking known you'd try a stunt like that, asshole!" Sonya snapped furiously before Johnny Cage put across: "And sure enough, I did! Now, don't tell me that YOU of all people are going to try and back out of a dare."

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!" Sonya went as she took off all of her clothes as fast as she could, not wanting to give Johnny Cage the obvious pleasure he'd get from seeing her do it last, and, as soon as she was fully naked, with all of the guys(except Delbert, that is, since he quickly closed his eyes, given that he was a happily married and devoted husband and father of four)doing what they could not to get boners upon looking at her and keep their heads turned away from her(they succeeded at neither, of course, although Johnny Cage was still by far the one getting the most pleasure and enjoyment looking at the naked Sonya)and all of the girls giving Johnny Cage the middle finger on both hands, ESPECIALLY Sonya, of course, she said in her mind what follows.

"He'll undoubtedly be up for a dare when I target him upon it being my turn, which it will be as soon as I'm dressed again, and he knows it as well as I do, much like he knows as well as I do that I'll be delivering a dare. Problem is, well, for him, anyway, said dare is not something that he or anyone else would be likely to count on, and my God, is it ever going to fucking be one of high-ass magnitude."

Looking at Johnny Cage with a livid look on her face while having also turned blood red from embarrassment, along with how he had, while she started undressing, naturally taken off his shades, so he still had them off now and was not putting them back on until she was dressed again, she snapped: "There! You saw me naked! You got what you wanted! I can see your big-ass boner even from here, motherfucker! The other guys here are now almost as red with embarrassment as I am, having failed to try and not get boners while also failing not to look at me themselves, and I don't fucking blame them for feeling that damn way one bit. The other girls, meanwhile, have given you the biggest 'FUCK YOU' barrage imaginable, having been more than happy to help me in so doing, and I fucking blame them for doing so even less. I'm putting my clothes back on now, and it being my turn will also be it being my payback!"

Smiling as he watched her put her clothes back on as fast as she could, Johnny Cage still got much delight out of seeing Sonya's naked parts, and while this all happened, Frost, even though she joined in the middle finger barrage, still had to play her Eminem song chorus, and it was as follows.

The way you shake it!

I can't believe it!

I ain't never seen an ass like that!

The way you move it, you make my pee-pee go…

Doing, doing, doing!

I don't believe it!

It's almost too good to be true!

I ain't never seen a ass like that!

The way you move it, you make my pee-pee go…

Doing, doing, doing!

"You know, Frost," Sonya said, "we haven't had a feud in some time. Do you really want to derail all that progress and tolerance we've made and shown for each other, respectively, and fucking start a new one?"

"No," Frost said, "but I had to put in a fucking Eminem song chorus, dammit, and I can't possibly fucking think of a better one to accompany Johnny Cage's dare and what the hell it fucking resulted in than that, the way that I helped you and the other girls in giving him motherfucking middle fingers galore notwithstanding."

"I see." Sonya said. "It would seem that you have a knack for making what seems to be the worst possible choice, but turns out to be an excellent one, the way that this gives me a little motivation for whenever the hell we fucking play some pool like Kung Lao and Kitana are doing right now and you've wanted to play with me. First you give us advantages, at least for a time, back in our first lives, and now this being done in a way that doesn't make us hostile towards each other again in our second ones. You must have a hidden talent to be able to pull off shit like the stuff I just mentioned."

"Don't I, though?" Frost bragged. "It's one of the many things that make me so damn cool, didn't you know? HA! Look what the hell I just fucking said!"

Sonya sighed and rolled her eyes, and was finished getting her clothes back on just a second thereafter, and, it being her turn, she wasted no time in saying: "Johnny Cage! Truth or dare?"

Johnny Cage then said just as excitedly as she'd asked him the question: "Dare!"

But he wasn't feeling so cool and pumped all of a sudden when Sonya said to him: "Johnny Cage, I dare you to go upstairs to Amelia's room, knock on the door so that Sub-Zero can let you in and then go right on over to her bed, get on it, pull of the blankets and then hug her and kiss her, both as hard as you can!"

Sonya then sported an evil smile and everybody's jaws dropped, especially Delbert's and of course Johnny Cage's, the latter going: "But Sonya…she has a horrid cold…I could catch it…you know perfectly well how contagious she is…and she'll think I'm trying to steal her from Delbert…she'll do all she possibly can to maim me despite her cold making her so weak…!"

"I just gave your ass a fucking dare, Johnny Cage!" Sonya said. "I was able to strip myself down in front of you and everyone else without passing out from how embarrassed I became. You've faced far worse problems than the ones you just mentioned. You can do this. Don't even think about backing out."

"NNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Johnny Cage let loose as he then went up the stairs, knocked on the door to Amelia's room and, after Sub-Zero opened up the door and said: "Yes?" he quickly made his way over to and onto Amelia's bed, pulled off her covers and got onto her, much to her, and Sub-Zero's, massive and considerable shock, right before he hugged her tight and kissed her on the lips hard.

Amelia promptly clawed him down the back and, as he went: "ARRRRRRRGGHH!" she yelled at him: "I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED…JOHNNY CAGE, YOU COMPLETE ARSE OF A FUCKING PERVERT…HOW DARE YOU…"

"SONYA'S DARE!" Johnny Cage screamed as he felt his back become cold from what was obviously Sub-Zero using his powers to make a sheet of ice over his back that he manipulated to keep his wounds clean and concealed, plus make sure they didn't get infected, regardless of whether he got ill in any other way or not. "SONYA'S DARE?!" Amelia went, suddenly confused along with angry. "What the bloody hell does that have to do with anything?"

"I was playing a game of 'Truth Or Dare' with her and some others downstairs, and when I chose a dare once she asked me upon it being her turn, she dared me to come upstairs and do exactly what the hell I just fucking did! I'm sorry! How dare I do this? I didn't dare to do it! She dared me to do it!" Johnny Cage went.

"I see." Amelia snarled. "Well, there's a way we can settle this matter. Why she gave you that dare, I've no clue, but…"

She turned to Sub-Zero just after furiously pushing Johnny Cage off of her and said: "Sub-Zero? If you please?"

Sub-Zero nodded and called from upstairs to where the game of 'Truth Or Dare' was: "Sonya? Could you come up here, please? Amelia would like to see you."

Knowing what it had to be about, and knowing what song chorus Frost was undoubtedly going to be playing for Johnny Cage, Sonya got up and thought to herself while going upstairs: "Well, wait until Amelia finds out that he started it and he also hears what Frost's about to play right about now."

And sure enough, Frost's next Eminem song chorus in the background would be what follows, all while everyone got ready for the inevitable, which would consist of a handful of things.

You don't know how sick you make me!

You make me fuckin' sick to my stomach!

Every time I think of you, I puke!

You must just not know-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa!

You may not think you do, but you do!

Every time I think of you, I puke!

Once Sonya entered the room, she saw Amelia looking furious and said: "Hello, Amelia. You must want to talk to me about how the hell I fucking dared Johnny Cage to go the fuck up here and then get on, kiss and hug you good and hard and tight during our game of 'Truth Or Dare' as retaliation for how the fuck he dared me to strip down when it was his turn and I was forced to do so as such."

Amelia gasped as her eyes opened widely and the shocked felid looked at Johnny Cage and asked: "Is that true, Johnny Cage? Did you dare her to take off all of her clothes in front of everyone when it was your turn? Is that way she dared you to do this to me when it was hers?"

"Yeah, okay, okay, so I gave her no choice but to put herself in the nude." Johnny Cage responded, knowing that lying wasn't an option here one way or the other. "But since my crush on her is never going to be reciprocated, which would be true even if I hadn't done this, I decided on the next best thing when I saw the opportunity to go for it. And really, Sonya, don't fucking act like you're a better person. I mean, wouldn't YOU do to ME what I did to you if our roles were fucking reversed?"

"Yeah," Sonya admitted, "BUT THEY AREN'T! So it was what the hell you fucking did to me, not vice versa, which started all of this fucking shit! And don't fucking act like you're a better person, either, because let's face it…if our roles were reversed, you would pay me back in exactly the way I paid your ass the fuck back, and we both fucking know it, asshole."

"I sure would, bitch." Johnny Cage conceded. "So we're both at fault…me for daring you to strip and, sigh, starting it all, and you for choosing the dare you did and keeping it going. Which it will do for longer than you might think. Because, see, we're well within each other's range, and I, like what the hell you dared me to do, got on, hugged and kissed Amelia here, even if it did also get me clawed."

"That," Amelia said, "and since I'd suspect, ironically, that the first two things that happened between you and me, Johnny Cage, didn't feel half bad to you, I am going to have it so that Sonya here has her share of the consequences, since she could have paid you back in a different way that had just as much impact and wouldn't involve my cold being spread to anyone."

"Hey, wait a fucking second here…" Sonya said as her eyes opened very widely indeed. "How the hell are you going to…?"

"See to it that you're punished along with Johnny Cage?" asked Amelia. "Well, it just so happens that, after everything I've just learned about, both before and after Johnny Cage got onto me and gave me that unwanted, disrespectful embrace, hug and kiss combo, I need a petting to make sure that the anger I am barely able to contain, and even then, it's both because of how I have this godawful, hellish cold and was shocked long enough to learn everything that I needed to, is assuaged. So just as Johnny Cage has been punished for daring you to strip down and thus making you dare him to come and kiss and hug me when I'm a respected captain, and happy wife and mother, and always will be both, so you will be punished for not settling for a better kind of dare that wouldn't lead to this sort of problem and rub my belly. And, since the cold I've got is very catching, spreads easily and is fast acting, as I found out from Sub-Zero just as he started tending to me, it will be none too long before you two are just as sick as I am, plus my cold will most likely last longer after we all have it, so we all have quite the unhappy, miserable future ahead of us, at least for a time, anyway. You will both learn a very important lesson from this, indeed, and the very hard way, as well, to be sure."

"DAMMIT!" Sonya yelled as she went on over to rub Amelia's belly, and, just after Amelia saved her the trouble of pulling up her nightgown as so to get her belly ready for rubbing by doing so herself, Sonya ignored how furious she was about how there was a terrible, nasty, horrendous cold in her future along with that of Johnny Cage while rubbing and scratching the feline's belly this way and that, which actually felt pretty damn good to her, ironically enough, and it sure as hell felt good to Amelia, as evidenced by how her leg was really twitching a lot at a rapid rate and she was purring very hard and just as loud.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH…YES…PUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR…KEEP IT UP, SONYA… …THAT…THAT FEELS SO, SO GOOD…" Amelia purred in delight, and Sonya then smiled and said: "You know, Johnny, I'm almost glad you pulled your little stunt with forcing me to strip down, and all that it led to, because how enjoyable it is to rub Amelia's belly like this? It's almost worth the horrific cold that is to follow."

"Well, now that I think of it, I'd like a turn giving her said midriff massage." Johnny Cage said.

"You'll get your turn when we're all sick in bed with this cold, with each of you to a different side of me apiece, though not at the same time as when Sonya has her next turn." said Amelia firmly, to which Johnny Cage replied: "Right, right."

Amelia, looking to Sub-Zero, then said: "Oh, and by the way, Sub-Zero…I'm really sorry about all of this, but these two both had to learn a lesson here. Still have to, in fact. I really wish I didn't have to have made you see all of this, let alone inconvenience you like this."

"It's all right." Sub-Zero said. "You have not done the latter, and, while what I saw and heard here was not what I'd call the first thing I'd like to see or hear, I understand why you are doing this, though I do not approve of this method for teaching a vital lesson about things getting out of hand like they obviously did with that 'Truth Or Dare' game downstairs. Still, there's no turning back for Johnny or Sonya now, and I can get some assistance so that all three of you can be taken care of just as much as the other two, so worry not. It'll be made well sure of that you'll get over these colds and are, to use your own words, 'right as rain', as soon as possible."

"Good to know, and glad to hear it, Sub-Zero." Amelia told him, which was followed by Sub-Zero calling down and saying: "Frost? Can you hear me? I need to see you up here right now."

Hearing him like he hoped she would, and getting the feeling of what she was calling him about having to do with this dare and illness matter(correctly, of course), Frost knew what had to have happened at once and knew full well what that meant and why she was the one being signaled by him.

Just afterwards, Frost said: "Okay, everyone, given what we just heard Sub-Zero say from upstairs, and where he is in said house region, I think it's safe to say that the goddamn game's just come to a fucking end. I mean, everybody's had a turn, and it's kind of obvious what's about to ensue, the way that it was me he called and how my powers are in the same damn vein as, and also fucking comparable to, his own. So I suggest that the rest of you all get out of here so what Sonya, Johnny Cage and the captain are about to go through, and will need help from me and my sifu about, won't be able to reach you. Unless, that is, you want to risk getting caught in the crossfire, which I sure doubt you do. Thanks for the stereo, Delbert. I'm taking it and my Eminem CD up with me just in case there might be a purpose they can serve."

While saying this, she got the aforementioned CD and the said stereo off of from where they were and got going upstairs, and after Delbert said, shakily due to how he knew what was likely to happen more than the others, since this WAS his wife while she had a cold we're talking about here: "M-m-m-m-my p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pleasure, Frost…" he made a hand wave that signaled to everyone that they had to move it, which they did along with him.

"Delbert, darling?" he suddenly heard Amelia's voice say from upstairs. "Yes, my love?" Delbert called up. "Frost is here to make it easier for Sub-Zero in terms of doctoring, but might I suggest, while I wish I didn't have to put an end to his fun with the children and B.E.N. despite how it can perfectly well continue with the other five, that you tell Morph all about this and have him come assist the cryomancers to make it easier for both of them?"

Knowing that, just as Sub-Zero and Frost's powers made them immune to the effects of the common cold, so Morph's powers would allow him to shapeshift its effects out of him, and that no one would want any of this to get any harder, Delbert responded: "Of course, dear."

"Delightful!" he heard Amelia's voice say, and now let's check out a little about how all the other guys were doing.

Going to the pool table that Kung Lao and Kitana were playing at, the former having had it so that he and Kitana had just finished sinking one another's balls and now it was down to just the 8 Ball, and also having at it so that he won by the narrowest of margins when he managed to sink the 8 Ball with a shot that was just hard enough to make it slowly go towards the corner pocket and tilt enough to shake a bit but then go in.

"Well, how about that? I won, Kitana!" Kung Lao said with a grin as Kitana rolled her eyes while taking the defeat with dignity. "You put up a damn good fight, to be sure," he continued on, "but there can only be one winner."

"It's worth pointing out that it could have just as easily been me, though." Kitana told him. "Kind of like what was the case with Sonya when Frost beat her in that fight in our first lives that, despite seemingly being a horrible choice of when the hell to choose to do that, gave us an advantage, though not the kind of advantage required for…I'm stopping here. I hate that memory."

"Don't we all?" Kung Lao said, referring to himself and the other Earthrealm champions when he said that. "Although I do see what you mean with the whole 'just as easily' thing."

Kitana nodded, and let's all take a look at how things were with B.E.N., Morph and the Doppler children in the basement they went down to at the moment just now.

While they'd been having lots of fun from the get-go, of this sort and that sort, none of which had been anything but awesome for the whole damn fucking lot of them, said enjoyment shitloads were about to come to a fucking end, as all six, just after Sonny said: "Say, Morph, do you think you can…?" heard Delbert's voice say the following words from the top of the stairs after they heard the door open beforehand.

"Children? B.E.N.? I'm afraid that your playtime is going to have to be minus one part of it just now. You see, I need Morph to help with the matter of your mother's illness all of a sudden."

"Why, daddy?" asked Tillie as all six looked up to Delbert at the foot of the stairs. "Isn't Sub-Zero taking good enough care of her?" asked Matey, and then Delbert said: "Yes, but as much as it pains me to say this and is going to shock all of you, Johnny Cage and Sonya, during a game of 'Truth Or Dare' that they, Jax, Sarah, Jim and myself were playing together up here on the first floor, both did something…unbelievably idiotic, and as a result of so doing these two different foolish things, caught your mother's extremely fast spreading and fast acting cold. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were already sneezing and coughing with watering eyes as we speak. So I need the help of Morph to assist both him and Frost, the latter of whom was playing choruses of some of the songs from one of her…explicit CDs…while we played our game of 'Truth Or Dare', ones that fit the trend of what truth or dare was done each time one of them happened, but has now come up to assist Sub-Zero. It would, however, be a good idea for Morph to help out, as well, since his powers can deflect Amelia's cold germs just as much as theirs can, and the speed with which she and our two newly sick friends can recover needs to be increased as much as possible."

"Understood." said Matey. "Well, Morph, we guess we'll just have to keep up this funtime without you now. Sorry about that."

"It's okay. It's okay." Morph said, but as Delbert said: "Thank you, Morph, and all the rest of you, for being so understanding and thoughtful." and Morph came along to where he was, Jib said: "No problem, but just out of curiosity…what exactly were these dumb things that Johnny and Sonya did? I thought they were smart like the other Earthrealm champions."

"They are, but…let's just say they let their eagerness to make a nasty dare to each other made them do so before they thought despite how they're usually more intelligent than that, and what stupid things they did in said dare giving…required very inappropriate things that would lead to Johnny going up to talk to your mother at far too close a range and, when she called Sonya up about them, the latter got far too close to her, as well. That's the nicest way to put it, I'm afraid, and the only way I can explain it to children your age, as well."

"All right, daddy. Gotcha." Matey said. "We're still a bit confused, but since you know a lot about these things, we'll take your word for it." added Tillie.

Delbert nodded, and B.E.N., as he and the others waved goodbye to Morph, said: "Bye, Morph! Tell Amelia we hope she doesn't have too much of a problem with her new, ahem, 'roommates' and continues to get well soon like we hoped she would before."

"And give Frost our thanks for helping out with mommy's problem and Johnny and Sonya's problems, as well." Sunny added, to which Delbert said: "No problem."

"No problem! No problem!" Morph nodded, and Delbert led him up to where Amelia's room was while the other five resumed their playtime, adjusting to how they couldn't have Morph as part of it anymore.

And as, like you've read about previously, everyone who had been playing the "Truth Or Dare" game just before now did exactly what Frost had suggested and indeed got as far away from where they'd been playing it as they could and decided to try and find what way of telling Kenshi about all of this, since the latter had a right to know once he was done getting rid of his scumbag targets and, chances are, would want to come join the party(albeit late, literally)as soon as he found out where everyone else currently was, would be best, all hell was eventually going to break loose upstairs.

Which you will read about in the third and last chapter of this story.

Chapter 2 Is Over

Well, wasn't this something?
