Ok, I got chapter 2 up, that's my part so now do yours please! I reeeeeally need to know who to pair Aubree up with as soon as possible! I was thinking of pairing her with Stryker, because that's her last name too...but I don't know! Please review who you think she should pair up with (maybe a pairing for Blaze too, eh?) And thank you for viewing!
(Blaze's P.O.V.)
I was being choked nearly to death until I heard someone pull in the driveway, and it was probably Ice (Candice ~ Cand-ice) with her friends. Luckily these idiots didn't sense them coming in through the front door, because I wasn't in any condition to fight these buffoons. I just pray that they don't make any rash decisions that would make them end up like I did. As to how this all happened was…ah fuck, I suck at telling stories! FLASHBACK COMMENCE!
~*Flashback*~
I was driving home after the guys night out and I was exhausted, yet energized. After about a 25 minute drive I reached my place and I pulled into the driveway and turned my truck off before I headed to the front door. As I was opening the front door, a sudden feeling of danger swarmed my body, but continued anyways.
"ICE?! YOU HERE?!", I yelled out to my sister.
I didn't get a response from my sister, and assumed that she must be out with her friends or something of that sort. But the next thing I know is that I see four men in the living room, and I thought Ice was the crazy one, but these men were dressed as Mortal Kombat characters! Raiden, Scorpion, Smoke, and Sub-Zero…in my living room? Any normal person would either scream, call the cops, or run away from any intruder, right? Especially if three of them had glowing eyes, and had giant ass muscles, but I didn't do any three of those options, why? I'm not one of the more normal people in this world, and I just got into a fighting stance.
"Why are you here?!", I yelled.
"We wish only to talk…we would like a word with Candice, your sister if I'm not mistaken.", Raiden said trying to keep things calm.
"Why do you need to speak with her? How did you know she's my sister?!", I practically yelled.
"Listen here boy, you better not raise your fucking voice at me!", Scorpion threatened me.
"Who said I was talking to you?!", I almost whined as I threw my arms up.
The next thing I see is Scorpion running at me with a fist in the air and ready to finish me like a fat kid's ready to finish a cheesecake (if you saw a certain movie, you'll get it). I quickly moved to the side and out of the way, allowing Scorpions piss meter go off the charts. I managed to keep a good distance until he really had enough, and then he threw his shuriken at me and it embedded itself in my shoulder. He yanked at the chain while yelling "GET OVER HERE!" before he landed numerous punches and kicks all over my body until he punched me square in the face, sending me flying backwards and into the wall until I slid down to the floor. He placed his hand around my neck roughly and quickly pulled me up and off my feet against the wall. He pulled his hand back and I heard "NO!" from Raiden, but it only made him pull his fist back farther, and farther, and farther…
~*Present*~
(Candice's P.O.V.)
The men turned their heads and looked at us, I looked at Scorpion and he thankfully dropped Blaze, but not exactly very gently. I saw as he weakly mouthed the word 'run' to us with hope that we'd listen, but that was quickly ignored.
"Why are you here?!", I asked demandingly while glaring daggers at Scorpion, who frankly didn't give a fuck.
"We, would like to talk to you four.", Raiden said.
"About what?", Monika asked.
"Helping us.", Raiden said.
"I'm sorry? After you almost killed Blaze?", I said upset.
"Please listen to Raiden, it's very important to us all!", I saw Smoke ask almost pleadingly. Fuck, why did I have to be so attracted to him?
Aubree, Monika, Amy and I all exchanged looks real quick before we all nodded to each other.
"We'll consider helping…" I started and saw Raiden give a small smile of relief, "…but!" I continued.
"But?", Raiden asked.
"You have to heal my brother, it's the least you could do." I finished.
"Fair enough, I suppose." Raiden said making his way to Blaze.
We watched as Raiden kneeled next to Blaze and I watched in amazement as Raiden healed Blaze back to full health with lightning in mere seconds! Raiden helped Blaze to his feet and glared in Scorpion, who didn't care.
~*Le Time Skip*~
"So…", I started, "…what you're saying is that we're the destined ones to save Earthrealm?" I asked.
"Yes.", Raiden replied simply.
"But we're from different dimensions, how does this all, you know, connect with us?", Blaze asked.
"The answer will become clear to you as time unravels, and the more you fulfill your destined paths.", Raiden explained.
"But we don't know the slightest thing about fighting, other than Blaze and Candice, that is." Monika said.
"That didn't go unnoticed, and that is why you are to be trained.", Raiden replied.
"By who?!", Aubree, Monika, Amy, Blaze and I said in unison.
"Scorpion, Smoke, Sub-Zero and I have yet to find the fourth warrior capable for such a task as this."
"Wait…", Blaze said leaning forwards and leaning with his elbows on his knees, "…who's training who?" and at that instant we all looked at Raiden.
Raiden had stood up before speaking, "Scorpion will train Amy…", the two looked at each other, not looking away from each other for some time (that could be either a good or bad thing…probably the second one), "…Sub-Zero will train Monika…" Raiden said. Sub-zero and Monika exchanged looks of fairness, and seemed as if they would most likely be able to tolerate each other.
"And who will I train?", Smoke asked.
"You, you will train Candice…but I will have to say this now; her brother may be of assistance and will be there at times to help within her training. Maybe pick up a move or two along the way that could help him one day in the future."
Smoke, Blaze and I all exchanged glances that was almost like a wordless bonding of some sort. But before anyone could say anything, Aubree beat us all to it and spoke first.
"What about me?", she asked.
"You will be taught to fight as well in time, but I have yet to decide from a select few in mind. Until then, I suggest for everyone to rest well tonight, for we shall continue this tomorrow evening.", Raiden said before he lifted one arm and lightning engulfed him, and he disappeared.
The pupils looked at their mentors and we watched as Smoke put his hands together, fading away in a wisp of smoke. Sub-Zero froze in place and he broke in small ice particles that drifted off, and left only a short, cold breeze until he completely disappeared. Scorpion drew one of his short swords and sliced the wood floor, creating a fire hole before he jumped in it, and to our luck it closed without doing any damage to the floor other than a little soot (ashes).
We all looked at each other for a little while and, regardless of what's just happened to all of us, we all screamed one word like a bunch of idiots while throwing our hands in the air, "SLEEPOVER!".
