WEEKS LATER - FLESH PITS
The Shadow spectre had met with Chaosrealmer, Havik, in secret at the flesh pits. Although the wraith realized some time had definitely passed since the last time he had a true form as now the Earthrealmers had already defeated Shinook and Quan Chi was scrambling for new allies, one being Havik himself.
Among the leaders for the Brotherhood of Shadow were newly acquired allies: Skarlet and Reiko who joined shortly after Shao Kahn's demise. The alliance was meant to overthrow Outworld and the Netherrealm all together with Havik secretly in with Noob Saibot to use Reiko for his obsession with the Kahn.
The townhall meetings they were having were getting alike, usually with Reiko complaining about something, this time he was whining about how he has to keep sleeping with Mileena to progress their plans. Noob Saibot clearly disinterested in the whining since it was no secret Reiko and Scarlet had an affair, so what is that frivolous man complaining about anyways? Though finally, Havik mentioned something that perked the spectre's attention.
"No god or lord enters a hidden space between realms as it is forbidden, having travellers make use of portals bend to rules of elder gods. Travel in the void means our brothers and allies can arrive to destinations without detection. A true chaos to be created but my studies have not concluded on the void," Havik explained while experimenting on a corpse laid out in front of them all on a table.
While Havik is an ally, he is indeed of chaos and it takes the spectre a moment or two to figure out what was even said. Then, he always had to remember, while responding, he can never say something that sounded as a demand as it implies order.
"I believe I have a way, I have been there before," Noob Saibot smirked under his mask with Havik immediately dropping everything on the floor staring in disbelief. The black ninja continued, "I will venture to earthrealm, there is an individual whose abilities I will either take or control and provide to you as a surprise."
EARTHREALM
And so with that Noob Saibot eventually found himself in the war broken earthrealm. It was as the Tengu said, it is mostly done for. Special Forces are minimal, the White Lotus without direction, the Lin Kuei completely cyberized and the Tengus scattered. He figured that Tengu he was so unhealthily obsessed with would return to the battlefield areas. He exercised extreme caution as the high impact areas often involved the remainder of the special forces and Quan Chi's servants. He eventually located a refugee camp where he spotted her with the blind swordsman and many other seeking help and shelter. The spectre laid low now that he had all the time in the world to focus his new found rival.
He was going to spend the next month stalking Kremnine and finding out more about her and learn of the void. This will give him means to plot his ultimate revenge.
She was kneeling in front of someone she was hoping to heal but then she took off the surgical grade gloves she was wearing and stood up from the floor. Kenshi walked to her side and she shook her head at him.
"Do not guilt yourself, you have done much here. We have achieved much more now that Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Jax have returned to us. Come, let us take a break."
The two earthrealmers sat down on barrels that were acting as make shift stools. She then spoke, "I do not think you fully see my frustration."
"You came back when we needed you most, that is what matters, Rae," Kenshi smiled gently and used a rather affectionate tone.
Noob Saibot from afar felt his eyes twitch from the grotesque scene of what appears to be Kenshi hitting on the Tengu. But the spectre at least rejoiced at finding out one key information about her, a name!
"I will take 5," she mumbled and then walked away to some sort of washing station. Now was the perfect chance, Noob Saibot warped right behind her when she was wiping her hands with a towel. She heard the sound and turned around.
"Oh it is you, something something…fear me," she looked blandly and threw the towel casually on his chest.
He wrapped his arms around her and warped her up above the hill top of the refugee camp. This will be far enough for him to speak words with her. She pushed him right away to break their contact. She began attacking him though she is without her typical scythe weapon she was seen carrying during the tournmanents.
"I told I will find you back in the void…you should have been prepared, I will pound you with all my might!" he roared.
"What are you talking about?" She pushed him aside.
"Do not play dumb with me! You had me run for my existence in the Netherrealm for weeks!" He raised his fist, "You are a coward, hiding in the void only returning to earthrealm when it is in favourable conditions!"
"You…confuse me with someone else," She tapped her foot impatiently. Then had a very mischievous tone when she asked, "Who Are You?"
He looked wide eyed at her and if he was not wearing his mask, she would have seen his jaw dropped. It is true, he never told her his name, "It is I Noob Saibot, a shadow wraith created from the fears of men."
"Alright…Mmm, that does not ring a bell, we still have no business from meeting once," she shrugged.
" .MET..SEVERAL…TIMES!" He shouted near the top of his lungs. "Including the occurrences when I was SUB-ZERO!"
"Wait….you are that first Sub-Zero?" She placed her hand over her mouth at him…then threw her head back and laughed.
The wraith's eyes were twitching yet again, it was like déjà vu all over again. "Allow me to guess, you wished for my demise and become a wraith."
She stopped in her tracks giving him a surprised look, "Did you know I thought that since we met?!"
"You will pay for such thoughts!" He starting attacking her again. He knew he lost the first time they fought, she had a intense healing ability but he also has a energy disabling ability if he can keep using that on her before she heals, then victory will be assured for him.
They fought for moments until he had an opportunity of an upper hand, he released a shadow that grabbed her hands in front of her and then a small portal on the ground appeared, to which the shadow dropped in but she herself fell to the floor and did not fall through the portal, only her arms were stuck being gripped by the shadow the portal, who weighed enough to keep her on the floor. Noob himself climbed on her back, seating himself against her fine buttocks and wrapped an arm around her neck in choke hold.
In this particular position, Kremnine couldn't escape, she can call out for help to get Kenshi but she refused to out of pride so she shook and she wriggled, but then noticed the spectre shivered for a moment. She felt him lean his chin into her neck and then, she became red in the face when she felt something harder at the wrong spot behind her and realized the man was getting half hard from watching her choke. Disgusted, she had to get herself out of this.
She mustered her energy to send a shockwave aiming her palms together and blew off her hands causing the shadow who held her to loose its grasp and fall alone through the portal. Her hands healed up instantly and brought her hands to touch her own shoulders and sent a shockwave flipping them back around with her landing on his stomach and he let go from the sudden shock of pain. They both seemed to be getting up but then she noticed there were some children from the refugee camp heading their way up the hill.
Noob Saibot turned around to look at what had caught her attention. He had a very dark look in his eyes looking at the upcoming interlopers and was ready to fire a blast to kill off the little earthrealm midgets. Before he was able to do so, Kremnine ran and tackled him off the cliff, they happened to land right into a sharp rock formation causing Noob Saibot to be pierced through his back to his stomach and Kremnine who was top was pierced through as well in the reverse method.
….
THE VOID
Both spectre and Tengu appeared together back in the realm space with Kremnine landing on top of him. They both cringed from phantom pain of remembering how that large sharp rock penetrated their skin, muscles and bone.
"Impossible…you are here?!" she gasped looking at the spectre in the eye. He took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her and pull her into a deep kiss. She knew it, the creep did have a hard on watching her choke. She was hammering him with her fist trying to pry him off and they eventually pulled apart and she pinned his shoulders to the ground.
"How dare you speak and inform that version of me of what the void is!" Kremnine spoke angrily.
"Now you stop pretending to not know anything?" Noob Saibot sneered.
"That human version of myself does not have recollection of anything transpired here," she hissed. Then she froze at the sight of his evil grin realizing he has an upper hand on her when she is alive.
"If you say that, then this is your true nature. You should stay to your true form," he brushed his hands on her waist in a rather suggestive manner and she immediately stood up to separate herself from him with her shoulders tense and somewhat disturbed of their proximity.
"I believe both are my true forms…But the human brain utilizes only 15-20% of its consciousness and I can access it more here," she puffed and then narrowed her eyes at the wraith.
"I ensure to torment you next time on earthrealm…" he smirked as he stood up, partly enjoying the fact that she looked disturbed, "I have found a weakness and I will you for Kenshi who seems enamoured by you."
"I believe my relationship with the Ronin is more of sibling-hood, I am luckily not so much interested in Kenshi in this form or my other. Thankfully, if I were in the other form, I will find some way to communicate why I should not be with him."
Noob Saibot mentally made his evil sneer understanding his chances and laughed internally, but he told himself not to express his feeling in front of her, "He is not a worthy warrior any how."
"That has nothing to do with it, he has a child and is unaware of this from his previous relationship where he could not commit. I know this in this form but the human me does not. Either way, I am without desire for meddling into anything leading to short term affairs," she waved her hand dismissively, though it did take Noob Saibot a moment to realize her personality was slightly different here. "That includes you spectre."
Noob Saibot made note that this Kremnine cares about the reputation of the earthrealm version of her self and she hints she is a romantic. Then he froze for a moment realizing what she just said at the end. He met her gaze for a moment narrowing his eyes suggesting he demanded an explanation.
"If your memory served you from the first Tournament, I died from Motaro's beating on the first opening day, hours prior to your match with Scorpion. You think I would not know in the void of your activities during that time?"
His eyes went wide when he remembered as Bi-Han, had jerked himself off during the first tournament to the image of Kremnine with that tight costume which exposed parts of her rear.
She nodded at him, "Yes that, you are the kind of fiend who would do…that…sort of perverse act over a corpse…and you are not subtle now."
"You are rapidly becoming less of what I desire," he hissed at her. His core personality is to seek thrill in savouring corrupting and torturing others. Kremnine here in the void is impenetrable but he realized her earthrealm form is still vulnerable….that is it, he knows how to exact revenge.
He will convince that more innocent version of her that he has genuine interest of courtship and willing to change his current evil ways and then after he had had his way on her, he will kill her in which this conscious Kremnine will be mortified how she was used by him.
"I do not wish to be in your circle of desire…I know what you are….Only a freak with the worst kinds of fetishes would go for Mileena."
He wanted to throw up, he recalled that day, Mileena swaying around inviting him to her quarters, her flirtatious prowess catching his attention. The woman behaved as if she was dim witted but then was also eager to bang anything that moved and he heard she was a twin of Kitana's, is royalty, and wanted to sleep with him? Jackpot!
Or so he though until he slid himself into the Kahn's newest and most favourite daughter. Initially he was enjoying himself, pounding that body that had the right curves with full breasts that were swaying and bouncing from each of his thrusts. That was a sight he enjoyed. Though she would not stop making these noises and he realize she sounded like a witch, which was not exactly turn on for him. He figured he would shut her up by pressing his lips to hers, finally removing her mask in the process and with intention to remove his right after.
It was too late by then, he was mid stream performing the deed with half breed tarkatan and to his horror, having to see that vile face and all those fangs. When she screamed in ecstasy, her mouth stretched way beyond what a normal human would which freaked him out. How the hell did anyone dare comment she looked just like Kitana?! He could not leave now, if he did there will be hell to pay for cancelling out on the princess of Outworld.
He was still a typical man with a sex drive after all at the end. At that time, he opt to he flipped the half tarkatan around and pulled her mask back up so he can continue thrusting from behind. Other than her face, she was pretty much perfect but he pretended he was having sex with Kitana, who at least was hot, or someone else with Kremnine's ass. It was not as easy as it sounded as he remembered having to mentally block out the witch's voice and believe he was someplace else.
At the end of his flashback, he shook his head in rapid successions to shake off the memory he wanted to bury most. He has had one nighters in the past with different women but Mileena was in his hall of shame. He grabbed Kremnine by the collar and yelled, "How dare you stalk my private affairs?!"
Kremnine then scoffs, "I was not pleased of being ambushed and killed by Mileena and Kintaro during the invasion of New York, alas, I was watched her from here. Who would actually pay attention to you?!"
She pushed him off again, she looked away from him before facing him again using elaborate hand movements as she continued, "I do not appreciate sharing this space with someone. If you are going to be here then I rather be alive and if you are going to be in earthrealm, I prefer you to run along and do your own little devious things without involving me. This is a truce….do not bother me and I will generally not bother you. Where can I send you next?"
"I can leave you be…." He lied through his teeth, "Do as you wish saving your little insignificant earthrealm refugees, they will all perish soon enough." He scoffed.
"Your new location….if you please…" she raised her hand out impatiently.
"Chaosrealm," he muttered, not that he intends to stay there for long, he will just find a portal to get back to earthrealm.
"Oh that is quite the upgrade from here,…you can do every chaosrealmer's favourite activity," she said sarcastically at him.
"And what do you say is that?"
"Running around randomly without direction…that is what you do, right?" She gave a cocky yet sweet smile at him. Ah yes…the Everyone runs around game. He frowned recalling it is Havik's favourite down time activity.
"It is none of your concern," he waved his hand dismissively and then spoke like some ruler of hers. "Send me off already."
"Turn around," She opened the projection overseeing Chaosrealm and when the Shadow spectre had his back against her, she quickly placed her foot on his behind and kicked hard pushing him into the warp hole.
"Arrrghhh!" He called out, hating how she had the upper hand again causing him to be sucked up by the vacuum that has him exiting the void.
