AN: Not nearly as long as I would have liked it to have been. However, with several other works in progress, I have decided to make this my last chapter. I hope you all enjoy the final conclusion of this story.


Revelations

Time for work. Mileena began stalking the corridors only to run into yet another familiar face.

"If it's not one annoying person it's another..." Mileena muttered under her breath with closed fists. "Funny running into you."

"What do you want, Mileena?" The green clad woman crossed her arms.

"Where's Little Miss Goody Two Shoes?"

"Who?" Jade gave Mileena a slightly perplexed look narrowing her eyes.

"Your friend? Princess? Looks like me? Understand now?" Mileena practically rolled her eyes at Jade's response. For everything unholy in the Neatherrealm, did she have to spell it out to her?

"Why are you asking me?"

"Um, I don't know... Maybe because you are the only one she cares to bother herself with in her free time." The purple assassin's tone was nothing short of sarcastic even though she knew her statement was mostly true.

"I have no idea where she is. On the other hand, Master Kahn is looking for you."

"Not that it's any of your damn business, but I already spoke with Master Kahn and that is why I need to find Kitana."

"Hm, well best of luck to you Mileena." Jade replied sarcastically before disappearing from view.

"I really need to go out and kill someone or get laid..." Mileena's voice trailed. "But killing is more satisfactory." She let out a sigh. The figure of Tanya was seen walking into a door in the distance. A smirk formed against Mileena's face as she heavily considered the later. "Maybe tomorrow..." She grinned quickly changing her expression to annoyance. "After I find that loser Kitana." She clenched a fist thinking about the Edenian brat. It was then she recalled her earlier 'encounter' with her twin in the Court Yard and decided to go back to square one.

The figure of Kitana was seen walking about the Court Yard with her hair pulled over her shoulder. Her head was slightly down and she seemed to be deep within her thoughts.

Mileena approached the blue clad woman uncandidly proceeding to stand with her arms crossed. "Well look who it is."

"Mileena?" Kitana looked up seeming a bit taken off guard by her sister's presence.

"No, it's the Boogey Man." She rolled her eyes at her twin's response.

"What do you want?"

"Wouldn't you like to know." She stated in a similar fashion Khameleon had addressed her earlier, only she did it better of course.

"I am in no mood for your games, Mileena."

"A game? Oh dear sister this is anything but a game. Master Kahn isn't very pleased at the moment." She paused beginning to pace around Kitana. "He suspects there's a traitor amongst us."

"A traitor?"

"Yes, sister. Do you know what happens to traitors around here?"

Kitana looked to Mileena with her eyes narrowed. Mileena stopped just in front of her proceeding to dead stare her.

"They die -- Much like you're going to die!" The purple clad woman went to make a lunge for Kitana's throat. Kitana's eyes grew wide in sheer terror and confusion.

"Mileena! What in the Elder God's are you doing?"

"Doing what I should have done a long time ago." She went to draw a sai to her twin's neck but was stopped.

Kitana's hand parried away her hand proceeding to knee her in the stomach.

Mileena's figure doubled over and she went to elbow Kitana in her solar-plexus.

The blue clad one doubled over and was met with an uppercut to her jaw. Her hair flew from her shoulder revealing a strange mark on it.

If Mileena didn't know any better she could swear it looked like an injury from one of her sai. She narrowed her eyes to her. "Where the hell were you today?"

"I could ask you the same question." She went to draw out her fans standing in a defensive position.

"Where the hell did you get that mark on your shoulder from?" Mileena was sure to keep her stance ready for whatever Kitana might do.

"What do you care?"

"You wouldn't have happen to have a little accident earlier, would you? You know, sharp object -- Kind of looks like this." She held up one of her sai idly.

Kitana narrowed her eyes. "You always were a bitch, Mileena." Her fans disappeared as she drew out a long bow with a blade on the end of it. She proceeded to thrust it forward towards Mileena.

Mileena went to move away but was caught in her arm by the weapon's blade. She let out a yell glaring to the figure. Instead of a blue clad figure her attire was now green. The purple assassin didn't have to take a second guess to know who she was fighting. She charged the figure in front of her with both sai intending to strike her face but was blocked with her own weapons.

"Hmpth! You want to play with sai Mileena?" The figure was now adorned exactly the same as Mileena holding out two sai.

"Are you so weak you have to copy everyone else's abilities?" Mileena continued to try to force her weapons into her opposer.

"No, it's just easier this way." The female smirked.

"So who exactly are you indebted to, Khameleon?"

There was a long pause before the words of "Shang Tsung" met her ears. Her reply was dark as she drew out a bladed fan.

Mileena's eyes grew wide as she knew she had been fooled. This whole thing was a set up.

The figure drew out a bladed fan proceeding to make a clean sweep across the purple assassin's neck. Blood poured out as she clamped a hand tightly against the fresh wound. Her eyes narrowed as she felt the last of her strength slip away.

"Shang Tsung has plans for you." Khameleon's expression was sinister as she let out a laugh.

Mileena didn't even get a chance to respond before her throat was filled with blood and her voice was lost. The room began to spin as her figure collapsed to the ground. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head before everything simply went black.

---

When she awoke she was in a bed. She looked around recognizing this as her room. Was everything all a dream? She put a hand to her head feeling a massive headache. Something didn't feel quite right...

Her figure moved towards the mirror seeing her mask already on her face. How strange. Did she forget to take it off? She looked to her throat seeing nothing there. Everything felt so real, but she couldn't shake this sinking feeling inside. She went to take off the mask, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The figure of Shang Tsung suddenly appeared behind in the reflection of the mirror. He stood shrouded in the darkness. If it wasn't for the dim lighting of the candles, even his face wouldn't have been seen. He bore a sinister grin.

Her figure whirled around as she grabbed a hold of her sai. "Tsung! What the HELL are you doing here?" Her eyes narrowed ready to strike at any given moment.

"My dear, Mileena..."

"DO NOT call me dear, Sorcerer."

"You could start by showing me some gratification."

"Gratification for what?"

"I brought you back to life my dear."

"Back to life?" She recalled what Khameleon had said to her. So it wasn't a dream after all. "What the hell kind of plans do you have for me?"

"I used my powers to make some modifications on you."

"Modifications?"

"Yes, I brought you back a stronger and faster warrior than you were before!"

"And Master Kahn approved this?"

"It was his idea."

"What else did you do to me?"

"That is all."

"Then what's the problem with removing my mask?"

"Oh yes that. Due to the massive injury to your neck I needed to fuse your DNA with a certain regeneration gene." He smiled wickedly. "If you insist, see the results for yourself."

She dead stared him before slowly turning back to the mirror. She brought a hand to her mask proceeding to slowly remove it only to be absolutely horrified at what she found underneath. Instead of her usual face, she was met with a permanent smile with monstrous teeth. Her eyes went large as she went to let out a yell.

"You see my dear, I fused your DNA with the DNA of a Tarkatan. Though not full regeneration it was enough to keep your head attached to your body when I revived you. This was the only setback." He grinned.

"YOU BASTARD!" She went to lunge at him only to run into nothing but air. His figure tele-ported. He reappeared in the doorway with his arms crossed.

"Look on the bright side. At least you can cover it up." The sorcerer smirked tele-porting away leaving behind cruel laughter echoing throughout her room.

Mileena hit her fist against the concrete floor beneath. Not only was Kitana still the perfect daughter but now everything was perfect about her! She had NOTHING to compete with her now! He would pay. They all would pay for this! And thus began the path to an even larger embitterment, but above all, her life-long plot for revenge.
