Mortal Kombat: Deception Mayhem!
Chapter 14:
Mileena secretly entered the palace and climbed to the second floor, where she searched for Baraka. She eventually found him in his room. Mileena quietly approached him.
"Baraka," she whispered.
Baraka turned around and tried to speak, but she placed her finger on his mouth.
"Shhh..." she said, "I know I've been gone for a while. I'm sorry to say your entire division is dead. But now, listen: I've found a new home somewhere else. Somewhere I know you would never go to, Baraka."
Baraka again tried to speak, but Mileena interrupted.
"There's so much oppurtunity for me on the other side. But, now that I'm with them, we simply cannot be together anymore."
Baraka opened his mouth, but...
"That doesn't mean I'll forget all the good times we had together. Especially the sex. I mean that was like, 'Woah!' I've never felt anything like that in my thousand-year existence! Like a tiger you were..."
Baraka put on a strange face.
"Um, anyways," she continued, "I'll always love you, Baraka,"
Mileena then moved in closer and gave Baraka a long kiss.
"But now," she said, "It's time to die!"
Baraka's face went from happy to horror-stricken in less than a second. Before he could say anything, Mileena kicked Baraka right in the chest, knocking him backwards. He was able to tear off a piece of Mileena's clothing before falling through the large glass window. Mileena looked out the broken window and saw Baraka's broken body lying in a bloody pool on the palace grounds. Mileena smiled and ran away. Now, Bo Rai Cho's armies were unstoppable.
Kobra and Kira sat outside in Havik's backyard, talking.
"Did you catch House the other day?" asked Kobra.
"It's kinda hard to watch T.V. when you're on the road a lot," said Kira, "But yeah, I saw it. It was fucked up, man!"
"Yeah, I know," said Kobra, "Hey did you know they're planning on making a spin-off series called Wilson M.D.?"
"Come on," said Kira, "Wilson? You're kidding me!"
"It's just a rumor," said Kobra.
Just then, Kabal stepped outside and approached the two.
"Listen up," he said, "I have something important to tell you."
Kobra and Kira gathered up near Kabal.
"I have no other way to put this," said Kabal, "I've really enjoyed my time with the both of you and these past few weeks..."
"Out with it," snapped Kira.
"Alright, alright," said Kabal, "One of you has to leave the Black Dragon."
"Which one?" asked Kobra.
"That's it," said Kabal, "I'm organizing a battle. Both of you must fight each other to the death to determine who is worthy enough to stay. What do you say?"
"Okay," said Kobra.
"Sounds good to me," said Kira.
"You guys are okay with it?" asked Kabal, "I mean, you're not upset? Even after everything we've been through?"
"Hell no," said Kobra, "We're sociopathic murderers, remember?"
"True," said Kabal, "Okay then. The fight will take place at dusk! I expect both of you to meet me here then!"
Kobra and Kira nodded.
It was now getting dark. Hotaru made his way through the thick forest. From behind a large bush, he watched Sub-Zero sitting by a large campfire, resting. Hotaru smiled.
"Ha!" he whispered, "I've got you now, ya bastard! HIYAYAYAYA!"
Hotaur jumped from behind the bush and ran towards Sub-Zero. Before the ninja could do anything, Hotaru threw several flashbangs to the floor. The resulting explosion blinded Sub-Zero. Unfortunately, Hotaru forgot to shield his own eyes, and was blinded as well.
"Damn you," said Hotaru, "You're gonna pay! I'll get you!"
"Not if you can't find me!" said Sub-Zero, as he ran into a tree.
"TAKE THIS!" Hotaru tried to stab Sub-Zero with his naginata, but instead impaled a branch.
Sub-Zero then tried to strike Hotaru with his Kori blade, but wound up hitting a rock.
"Aw fuck," said Sub-Zero, "Was that your head or your ass that I just hit?"
The two fumbled around, completely blind for several minutes, until Hotaru's eyesight returned. He successfully knocked Sub-Zero to the ground. The ninja's eyesight returned just in time to see the Seidan standing above him with a naginata pointed at his face.
"Surrender," said Hotaru, "And come with me!"
"Never!" said Sub-Zero.
"Bold indeed," said Hotaru, "But foolish! Now you're gonna die for your crimes against the Dragon King!"
Hotaru raised his naginata high in the air and prepared to impale Sub-Zero, before suddenly stopping.
"I've got a 'splitting' headache," said Hotaru.
Immediately after saying that, Hotaru split vertically in two and each half fell to the floor. Behind Hotaru stood the Blind Swordsman, Kenshi, holding a bloody katana.
"Kenshi! Not a moment too soon," said Sub-Zero.
"Jesus," said Kenshi, "Can't I go into the woods for five minutes to take a piss without you getting into some kind of trouble?"
Kenshi helped Sub-Zero up and the two left the forest.
