One night and electric slide later, our 'heroes' (I use that term loosely) are back to planning the end of the Armageddon threat. Toasty is pacing the halls of the fire spirit's temple, and of course Kid Thunder was right beside him emitting his nonsense directly into the brainstorm.
"We have to think harder. In all the realms of life and death there has to be our warriors somewhere, awaiting our summons" Toasty turned around and being walking the opposite direction. " It would be freaking awesome if it was like in the video games, where a big screen comes up and you just highlight the player you want to fight with, right Big-T?" Kid Thunder suggested.
"First of all, I wasn't made a player in the games, just a random noise. At least you got into the games, even if it wasn't a playable character… WAIT!" Toasty exclaimed. "We'll play Mortal Kombat!" He added triumphantly. "but uh… I thought you said that we didn't have time to screw around, not that I'm complaining or anything." Kid Thunder said curiously.
Toasty blasted a small fireball into a panel in the wall's surface of his temple. The wall slid slowly to the side, revealing a large flat screen TV and several consoles. "Freaking A!" Kid Thunder exclaimed. "How long you been holding out on me!?!" He added playfully slapping Toasty across the back of the head…
After a few minutes Kid Thunder was still laying on the ground in mild pain, and Toasty was loading the 'select-a-player' screen. "Now let's see… There's princess Kitana, I bet she would listen to us… or Subzero, he's recently made a turn for the better." Toasty said, as Kid Thunder pulled himself over to the TV. "Yeah but… they are always busy. They have lives… unlike us. We need someone who has nothing to do all day and nothing really to lose…" Replied Kid Thunder.
A thought crossed their minds at the same time. "Scorpion" They said flatly and in unison. "Scorpion is the warrior that I had sworn to protect. I'm his guardian spirit, how could I ask such a burden to be placed on him?" Toasty said reflectively. "I know, but his life is pretty much as screwed up as it can get. Maybe after this we can cut a deal with the gods and get them to do something nice for him." Kid Thunder replied.
"You're right. It's worth a shot. I'll summon him to my temple." Toasty said as he entered a completely round room that was kept alight by torches. The room was very large and decorated in stone. "So how exactly does this work?" Asked Kid Thunder as he followed Toasty. "It's quite simple" Toasty replied.
Toasty began to recite ancient chants of summoning, as the torches' flames died out quickly, one by one. The room was it's own dark entity, black clouds and ashes swirled around the two spirits. In a giant burst of fire the torches were relit and when the smoke cleared a warrior could be seen…

To Superman K- Thank you for the praise, you are a talented writer yourself. I recently read "Raiden's Birthday", pretty funny, and ending with a spicy scene.
