Disclaimer: Sorry that I forgot about this… but as you might already know Mortal Kombat and its characters do not belong to me… otherwise the MK universe would be quite different… and many of the kombatants would be cross dressing… um yea. Oh and I don't own my friends characters… only my little Eclipse…
AN: Hey…any of you readers have a good idea for a random event to happen in upcoming realm let me know… or even if you want a random character of yours to show up tell meh… I need ideas! .
Before the portal completely closed one more figure walked through and hastily tried to catch up. Sub-Zero had decided to continue on the journey with Eclipse and the others.
As they made their way through the vast expanses of water which fill Chaosrealm…Eclipse made it a rule to utterly confuse and disturb the Seidan Guards who were once again trying to bring order to the realm.
"I just don't understand what you have against the guards, Eclipse" Asked Skweeky as he stumbled over the river rocks which were hidden quite well beneath the murky waters.
"What's not to understand? They invade realms the same way Shao Kahn does and attempt to rule everything they lay eyes on…they just claim it is for the good of the worlds." Replied Eclipse as she skipped over the pebbled path before her.
"You know…she's right in what she's saying,"
"I think both Shao Kahn and Hotaru have an Alexander complex that needs to be dealt with."
"You are comparing Shao Kahn to Alexander the Great?!" Replied Skweeky in shock and horror.
"Why not they both wear the girly gladiator skirts and had most of the same goals…not that I would like to see Kahn doing all of the same things Alexander did but…it's not that I haven't either…"
"What exactly did Alexander do?"
His question was never truly answered…well, unless you could interpret the endless snickers that came from Eclipse…and the flushed faces of Sub-Zero and Raiden.
As they trekked around the vast expanses of water which filled Chaosrealm some members of the party began to feel like they were being followed…by who…well that could have been anyone's guess.
The guards of Orderrealm were out and about today, each on their own superficial mission to bring order to the realm…which literally meant to secure the realm for total invasion.
But of course only it was only obvious to Eclipse and she went on her own mission…to continue to rid the realms of all egotistical rulers…sure some of the other gods thought her ideas were inconceivable but then again…they were ones who's realms got invaded by said rulers; mainly because they were too much of a sissy to stand up to them.
Anyways Sub-Zero, Eclipse, and Raiden were the first to pick up on the newcomers presence…whether the other's picked up on it…we can't say because they never seemed to acknowledge it.
Once the party reached Alaria's home they quietly left her to break the news to her family or what was left of it.
"So, what do you think of Chaosrealm, Naomi-chan?" asked Eclipse as the two of them wandered through the prison ruins that littered the realm.
"Well, it is certainly more tranquil than my home realm, the Netherrealm…"
"…A cyromancer from the Netherrealm…interesting…" Eclipse was cut short from the growling of everyone's favorite thunder god-turned cat.
By the time the two of them had found Raiden he was being smothered to death by two ninjas in yellow. One would be recognizable to anyone…well except Ara. The other was a female ninja and was countering Raiden's lighting with her own. Eclipse was the only one who seemed to know them both.
"Fayt, you and I both know you are never going to become his apprentice that way… we've been through this before."
"Aww… you're no fun anymore…but how exactly did this happen to him anyway?"
"All the powerful entities in the realms have been making the portals screwy…this is one of the possible side effects." Explained Eclipse as she held up kitty-Raiden and began to poke at his static fur.
"This is not why we decided to work together Fayt." Complained Scorpion form behind her… he was here for a fight… he wanted to take down the newly appointed fire goddess.
"It is you that I am after! I challenge you to Mortal Kombat!!" Exclaimed Scorpion as he pointed at Ara.
Silence followed his proclamation…no one was sure what to say to that…but finally Eclipse spoke up.
"…er…Scorpion…that's what you say to everyone…don't you have something better to do?"
This was something that the undead ninja began to mull it over. Everyone took this time to slowly stagger away but Scorpion caught sight of them leaving and began to follow them.
Few could see the tension between Scorpion and Sub-Zero… but Eclipse figured something should be done about it. She decided that they should stay in one of the temples dedicated to chaos. Perhaps a drinking contest was in order and a game of truth and dare.
It didn't take long for either to begin… because when anyone is in a room filled with deities and ninjas nothing ever seems to turn out sane… especially when you have plenty of specially brewed Chaosrealm liquor.
Once everyone was settled or at least not throwing empty bottles at each other anymore; Eclipse walked over to the rest of the group and placed one of the few unbroken bottles on the ground and began to spin it. It stopped spinning right in front of Fayt.
"Okay Fayt, truth or dare?" Eclipse asked mischievously hoping she would catch on to her plot.
"…truth." Fayt replied somewhat anxiously.
"…hrmm… ok I've got one… what is your true weakness?"
"…liquor…I have no tolerance for it what so ever…"
"So that's why all the bottles near you are full…"
"Okay okay, moving on… Fayt now you spin."
Fayt really didn't need to be told but as soon as she was she spun the bottle and sat back as it stopped in front of Scorpion.
"Alright, Scorpion truth or dare?" Fayt asked as she anticipated she is answer.
"Dare."
"Ok, Scorpion I dare you to not challenge anyone to Mortal Kombat for a week."
"No problem there…" he replied as he took a swig from the bottle before him and spun the middle bottle.
This time it landed before Skweeky, who had been quiet this whole time…mainly because he was a bit unnerved around Scorpion. But when the undead ninja asked him the question, his courage or what he called courage showed itself.
"Dare me."
"I dare you to challenge Ara to Mortal Kombat."
"What is with you and Mortal Kombat?" Question Eclipse.
"It is the prefect test of strength, skill, and intelligence."
"So you're making Skweeky participate in it?"
"…good point."
But it was too late Skweeky and Alaria were walking outside for battle. Fortunately for Skweeky he was in his natural element here so he had somewhat of an advantage. But on the other hand Ara was better trained that he was…or so she claimed. Her training was still an utter mystery to everyone.
Skweeky put some distance between him and the fire goddess and assumed his proper stance. Ara did the same but seemed calmed then the Lin Kuei. And like most random battles that occur in the realms the announcer's voice can from absolutely nowhere and started the fright.
Alaria was the first to attack she brought in some of her energy around her and began to form whips of fire from the palms of her hands. She swung these whips at Skweeky or at least where he seemed to be.
Skweeky had formed doppelgangers of himself from the water around him and was waiting for Ara to slip up for his attack.
"It seems he has finally learned to be patient…" said Sub-Zero contently.
"Wonder where he learned that…" replied Naomi.
Now Skweeky's final attack would have worked if he hadn't been as tipsy as he was. Those last few drinks screwed his entire stance and his vision was bleary. Ara was finally able to grab hold of him and toss him into one of the other springs filling the realm and out of bounds for their fright.
When the other had fished out Skweeky, Raiden decided the game was to end for the night. Eclipse agreed with him and picked up his fluffy kitty body and took him to bed.
The others did the same and wondered what tomorrow would bring.
Eclipse giggled as she began plotting the next day…perhaps we could visit another friend in Edenia or return to Outworld to tease Shao Kahn…or better yet go to Orderrealm to take on Hotaru.
