by Delta501

2. Chapter 2

I forgot to put this last Chapter. I don't own any of the Mortal Kombat characters. So on towards the story!

Scorpion blinking his eyes from his sleep notices that his queen is not beside him, lifting his body up looks around and indeed she is not here not until he heard the shower room water running. Curious Scorpion got out of bed and started to walk towards the shower room and he can hear a woman humming a tune. Walking inside he got to see who it was and it was no other then her queen, washing her tone body on her shoulder down to her curves, for a pregnant woman she still seemed beautiful with that alone Scorpion decided to join her and quickly undressed himself except his mask he then started to walk inside the shower.

"Good morning my queen."

Mileena gasped at the touch of Scorpion wrapping his hands on her belly, looking behind her she can see his white eyes looking at her, smiling moved her hands on to her belly were his hands are, she giggled and nuzzle in closer to his body and responded back.

"Morning my king, and what pleasant surprised made you wake up this early?"

"Well, for starters my queen was not next to me when I awoke, and I find her here instead, so why not join her as well with her beautiful naked body in front of me."

Mileena giggled more shaking her head of his responds, feeling her lovers hand caressing around her belly couldn't stop smiling knowing that he is very caring for her but also for their new child.

"You just can't get enough of me can you?"

Scorpion began to bring his right hand upwards, caressing her right breast hearing a little moan come out from her goes up to her collarbone and then to her chin, lifting it up for she can see his face she sees his white eyes but she sees more than that she can tell she is giving him a warm expression feeling his body heating up that she loves so much.

"I can never get enough of you Mileena."

His low voice still sending shivers down to her spine of pure excitement, but yet so peaceful and caring when he says it, moving her body around being in front of him now she placed a kiss on the side of his face placing her hand on his chest feeling the heart beat bump each second in her hand, but smiles even wider when she sees a particular scar of a bite mark on his shoulder. It was not the bite of any normal bite mark of an animal, or demon, but the bite mark of Tarkatan teeth.

"I can't believe you still have this."

Scorpion not understanding what she says looks down to his shoulder where she was touching and sees his scar of the bite mark she left on him, smirking under his mask pulled her closer to her with him and said.

"Well it was you who did it remember?"

Mileena giggled because it was true it was her who did it.

"I remember, I had to let everyone know that you where mine alone."

"Oh really, so you branded me then?"

"Haha you can say I did my love."

"Or was it because you didn't want me to hear you loud moans every time you have an orgasm."

With that Scorpion saw her whole cheeks turn bright red of embarrassment she nuzzle to his chest not wanting to see her face, she then bite down on his chest causing him to wince in pain for a bit but only ends up laughing a little and strokes her hair to comfort her.

"Was I really that loud?"

"It was really arousing every time I hear you moans."

Scorpion said, feeling her face heat up of more embarrassment making him laugh a bit more of his queen pouting, but she knew he was just teasing her so she just ended up giggling and hugging her lover more and looked up to him.

"Well as much as I love to be here with you, we got plans today my king."

He looked down on her not understanding or matter a fact what sort of plans they have together today.

"What plans do 'we' have today?"

Mileena shaking her head, although king of Outworld her husband sure forget things that really matter when meetings where scheduled, as one today. Getting out of the shower grabbing a towel covering her body turned around and looked at his husband.

"Don't you remember today we are having familiar guests arriving and a meeting that someone you know wanted to talk to you about?"

Scorpion still thinking of what she said was thinking real hard, not remembering really of such issue of this meeting, he just nodded his head.

"Oh, right that meeting; of course I remember I just wanted to know if you remembered."

Mileena sighed knowing his husband this long he sure still didn't want to admit his mistakes, she shook her head and started to head outside to get herself ready, and Scorpio getting out of the shower also drying himself up, starts to head outside getting ready for today sighed putting on his gear 'This is going to be one long day'.

Once they both finished getting themselves ready, Scorpion was walking through the halls with his queen on his left side seeing how she has his arm around her, and Skarlet on his right side as his 'guardian' which is usually Reptile when he goes into meetings. Walking down the stairs he sees four raptor warriors standing guard at one female reptile holding a child on her arms, not really a mystery he knew who she was and also a friend to Mileena, was Khameleon. The other three guest in front of them, was a very familiar warrior that Scorpion once fought, wearing nothing blue and his mask was no other than Sub-Zero. And beside him was a woman that didn't know too well, but his queen did know who she was because this is not the first time meeting them, she was wearing the same gear as Sub-Zero her hair was as the color ice.

"Khameleon and Frost it's good to see you again!"

Mileena yelled walking towards them as she gave each a hug Scorpion and Skarlet standing beside her sees Sub-Zero and the last remaining person beside him walking towards him seeing wear a similar gear as Sub-Zero but only grey with his hair also.

"Good to see you again Scorpion, this is Smoke one of my top fighters and a good friend, hope is not a bother."

Sub-Zero said seeing how Smoke bowed his head showing respect in front of him nodes his head and looked back to Sub-Zero.

"None at all, so it seems like the ladies wanted to hang out today then?"

Scorpion said looking at the woman beside them happy talking to each other, seeing how his queen is happy of such companions around her always made him feel good that she haves this friends around her. Turning back to Sub-Zero he sees his friend also looking at his wife having both her arms on her belly, seeing that she is also with child, could see that he is also happy seeing how she haves friends around her, looking back to Sub-Zero he said.

"So what is the meeting that you actually wanted to talk to me about?"

He turned around and looked at him standing firm he replied back.

"Oh, well I wanted to talk to you personally about something that might help us both."

Scorpion nodding his head of understanding was about to walk away until he saw his queen walk towards him and said.

"We are going to go to the gardens and talk Hanzo; I'll let you and Sub-Zero alone to discuss your matters."

Scorpion nodded his head to his queen and looked beside her friends.

"It's nice to see you again Frost look lovely as ever, and Khameleon it's nice to see you also I see your son is growing bigger every time, please enjoy your stay."

Both Frost and Khameleon bowed their heads and started to follow Mileena, leaving Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Skarlet, and Smoke in the room.

"Shouldn't I follow the queen my lord."

Skarlet asked Scorpion looking his side shook his head knowing it wasn't necessary.

"No its fine Skarlet and once again there is no need to be formal with me, so Sub-Zero, should we talk about this in my military chambers."

Nodding his head both groups start to walk towards the hall, seeing how Skarlet is watching on Smoke not knowing him very well, keep her guard up but she is not the only one that is keeping an eye on her, for Smoke is also watching her every movement in case she attacks his grand master. Scorpion feeling their intent to kill each other hears his Lin Kuie friend said.

"It's been a while that we seen each other, a lot has happen lately hasn't it?"

"Yes, this war with the Tarkatans has taking longer than I thought, but we will take care of them eventually."

"And I believe is that raptor army that you where able to build, how did you do it? I thought Reptile was the last one of his species?"

"That's true, when I became emperor Reptile came to me for a great favor he wanted, knowing him for some time and the great help he has done for me I decided to help, he explain to me what happen to his people, seeing that his entire clan was wiped out all man, woman, and children slaughtered by the Tarkatans."

Sub-Zero stood quiet knowing Scorpions previous past, can't shake the feeling if he still haves hatred against the Lin Kuie although it was not them who slaughtered his entire clan, shaking the feeling he heard Scorpion kept going.

"But that order was by the previous emperor Shao Kahn, Reptile at that time was still young and weak to get his revenge not just only on the Tarkatans but also on him too, so he wanted my help to see if there was a possible way to resurrect his entire race once more."

"And how did you? How where you able to bring them back from the dead?"

Scorpion smirked under his mask, although he laughed a little catching Skarlet off guard for she never heard him laugh before, which it caused her to step back a little.

"Not from the dead my friend, but regenerated by the remaining of raptor bones."

"But how, I thought…"

"Shang Tsung."

Hearing Reptile story, I saw him kneeling down bowing his head desperately waiting for an answer, Mileena gripped her hand turning towards her I can see that she feels the same way that I feel, no man should see his whole clan slaughtered, no man should lose their love one. "Rise Reptile there is no need for kneeling, I feel your pain and sorrow as I too seen it with my eyes, and as for helping me find the real culprit of my clans murderer I will help you revive your raptor race once more."

Reptile was amazed that I could tell, once again bowing his head I can see tears dropping down his eyes, walking down towards him I placed my hand on his shoulder making him look up to me. "As I have no general or army in my control in this realm, I hope I can have your loyalty to aid me, but also hope you we can consider ourselves as friends."

"I would be honored to become your general, and also to call you a friend." Reptile extending his hand Scorpion gladly shakes his hand knowing that he has gain one more fordable warrior but a friend.

Reptile walking outside the room, turning around I looked at my queen seeing under her veil I can see she is smiling at me, getting up from her throne she starts to walk down towards me, gladly extending my hand for her feel her grip it and looks up to me. "So what do you plan to do my king?"

"There is only one person I know who can do that and as much as I want to kill him, he has to do one last thing before he dies."Feeling her body pressing close to me, I look down and see that her eyes where glowing. "Oh please tell me I can come with please."

Seeing her act so childish in situation like this is just funny for me, agreeing for her to come, she starts to giggle under her veil and knowing that laughter she is having a blood rush. "Is Shang Tsung still in the flesh pits?" Mileena stopped giggling and nodded to my answer. "Yes, Skarlet is watching over the sorcerer making sure he wouldn't do or run away somewhere." With that answer alone I grabbed her by the waist close to me and within seconds engulf us both in flames appearing in one place that one sorcerer was trapped in.

Appearing inside the flesh pits, Mileena looks around I can see in her eyes the hatred she is putting being here, understanding her reason I placed my hand on her shoulder to calm her down, feeling her tensed body cooling down we started to walk down stairs and see Skarlet guarding a weak sorcerer on his knees.

"My lord and queen is there something I can do for you?" Skarlet bowed her head but before I can say something my queen walked up to her and hugged her. "Oh Skarlet I hate it when you call me queen instead of sister when I'm around!"

Seeing how she got the point she hugged her sister back and nodded seeing Mileena jumping in joy I walked passed them looking at one particular man, "How you been lately sorcerer, it seems your age is finally showing its true form." Looking down at the broken down sorcerer is indeed weak, after draining his souls out of him of each beating I gave him I see Shang Tsung looking like a man about his 100 years, weak, useless, incompetent of living anymore.

"Scorpion please let me out of this chains, I swear my alliance is with you nothing more!" the sorcerer said although causing him to breath more knowing that he barely can speak now Skarlet came over and yelled. "Its emperor to you sorcerer don't speak his name like you are his friend!"

"Hahaha oh how I love my sisters anger, it reminds me almost to Kitana." Mileena giggled in the back feeling her intent to kill I looked once more at him "I got something that you might help me sorcerer and with this it would proof me to see if it is true that your alliance is with me, and if you succeed I'll let you live."

Shang Tsung crawled a bit further getting close to my feet seeing his eyes of desperation. "I'll do anything for you, just please spare me!" seeing his pathetic pleading made me laugh inside, knowing he was a strong and powerful warrior was now crying and begging in front of me. "I want you to bring back Reptiles race back alive, and multiple them making a huge army."

I saw him tense up at my request, seeing his eyes turn in shock hesitating of my answer saw him lift his head facing me "I don't know if I can, it will take weeks, even months to give you an army that you request!" griping my hand on his neck squeezing it tightly seeing how he is chocking for air responded quickly "I didn't ask you how long it will take sorcerer, I asked If you can do this yes or no!"

"Ye-ye-yes!" I released my hand of his neck seeing him catch his air back in his lungs I got up and looked down on him happy of my answer. "Good sorcerer, Reptile will be here keeping eye on you to see his race come back to live, also Skarlet will be on guard, you do anything funny sorcerer your death will…" I stopped for I saw two Sais hitting the ground close to Shang Tsung turning my head I saw my beautiful queen walking towards beside me and looked dead eye on him. "Will be by my hands sorcerer, and please make sure you do something stupid for I can kill you painfully as possible!"

Grabbing my queen by her waist pulling her close to me I looked down at the frighten sorcerer "Do we have and understanding then?" Seeing Shang Tsung bow down his head "Yes."

"Yes what!" I yelled in anger and hear him reply quickly. "Yes… my emperor."

With that answer alone I looked to Skarlet seeing her bow her head engulfing the flames around us we vanished.

"When he started his work, Reptile was watching Shang Tsung day and night never leaving his sights, and after long months have passed, he was able to revive them the same exact race as he remembered it."

Scorpion said walking a bit further to the halls of his castle Sub-Zero understanding, but was surprised he had to use the sorcerer for this, he could have asked Raiden for aid to help Reptile, shaking the thought out he asked.

"So what ever happen to the sorcerer? What did you do with him?"

Scorpion smirked under his mask, remembering that day, but it was not him who did it, oh indeed it wasn't.

After hearing the news of Shang Tsung success I went to the flesh pits and my eyes were amazed of the view of the raptor race, I could see them testing out their abilities, seeing them vanish right in front of my eyes, but above else I can see the pride and joy of this race once more able to walk in this lands. "You did a great job sorcerer."

Shang Tsung turned around and bowed his head, but every single raptor also immediately bowed their heads watching a one particular raptor coming towards me bowed his head. "Thank you lord Scorpion, me and my people are in your debt for all eternity, thank you!" Smiling under my mask found it funny that he would think and say that placing my hand on his shoulder. "Reptile your clan are in no debt in mine, you are a free race once more. All I ask is your alliance and as my general as longest I or my queen live. Besides you are a friend to me so rise for your people can see who their leader is."

All raptor warriors roared in joy raising their fist into the air and I can see Reptile expression, he was glad, glad that he was once more back with is race, but my eyes looked at one particular person left in the room and with that I walked towards the sorcerer.

"I did as your requested my lord; with a couple of more months you can be able to have one massive army of raptors." He bowed his head seeing how right he was, he achieved of what I asked of him. "Yes you did sorcerer, indeed you did."

"So as promised my alliance is only to you my lord, there is no trickery in this so am I free to go?" I looked at the sorcerer, yes indeed he would be a strong ally at my side, but yet again, I am no fool. "Hmm… yes indeed you have proof yourself to me… Reptile come here for second."

Shang Tsung was clueless of why he would need Reptile into this conversation. "You asked Scorpion?" Looking away from the sorcerer looked further ahead of the flesh pits, seeing some raptor standing firm looking at me "Have you kept an eye on Shang Tsung?" Reptile nodded his head. "So you know how everything works here then?" once again Reptile nodded his head. "Good, well sorcerer it seems I came with a conclusion, but first let me introduce to you someone that you might remember, come on out."

Shang Tsung was literally confused that I can tell from his expression, but seeing how he heard footsteps behind him turning around was shocked to see a similar outfit of mine back in my previous life, but instead of the outfit being yellow it was red. "We are here as ordered lord Scorpion."

"Ermac?" The sorcerer asked confused of why he was here, but ignoring his confusion I walked towards him. "You see sorcerer, I know of your powers and what you are capable of and that is one thing that Shao Kahn didn't see. But Ermac here is more reliable and trust worthy then you are."

Scared and confused was something I can tell from his face, and that alone was enough for me to be satisfied. "But my lord I don't understand I did what you told me!" And right there I saw two blades piercing through his chest seeing the blood splatter on the ground but most was his eyes in shock and hearing giggling voice come from behind him was the sound of someone I love, Mileena.

"Oh poor sorcerer, don't you get it." Seeing the blades getting pushed a bit more through his body seeing his blood spit out from his mouth. "You were used like you always used your victims, nothing but a pure pawn, so let us dance with your blood shall we!" With that alone I saw his head getting ripped out from his body seeing the blood splatter upwards landing splattering all over of my queens body was the most beautiful thing I could ever see.

"You look beautiful my queen." Seeing Mileena eyes of pure joy she walked towards me giggling feeling her wet blooded body on me was something that was truly beautiful. Turning my head towards Ermac and Reptile they both bowed their heads and seeing the other raptor warriors bowing their heads nodded my head and vanished out of that place for good.

"Well whatever he did in the past he sure disserved it."

"Couldn't have agreed more. But enough of me how you and Frost been lately?"

Scorpion said, which caught Sub-Zero by surprise wanting to hear about him and his life, coughing a bit stood firm and replied back to him.

"We been well, I'm actually happy being around her and especially the wonderful life she is carrying inside her."

"That's good to hear, I'm actually still surprised that she was your apprentice back in that time and after a couple of months she is your wife."

Sub-Zero rub the back of his neck embarrassed that he still remembered that Frost indeed was her apprentice back a few years, and kept going.

"Yeah, I'm surprised myself but in the end I got to see through her and fell in love with her."

Scorpion was laughing at the last statement Sub-Zero said, which looked confused of what was funny that he said.

"That's not what I heard how it went down between you and Frost Cryomancer."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh you know exactly what I'm talking about."

Scorpion looked at Sub-Zero still clueless of the situation of what is going on smirked under his mask having the great advantage on him.

"Should I enlighten you Grand Master?"

Smoke was clueless as ever too, and only knowing a bit of the situation of how he and Frost fell in love wanted to know what has his friend kept in hiding, but also Skarlet took a few steps forward wanted to know the situation also.

"How I remember it how it went down, was that you were thickheaded and clueless of her love towards you, so one day when you two went to practice outside the dojo into the cold forest she by the other hand had a plan and she…"

Scorpion stopped in mid sentence and looked at Sub-Zero and was actually pleased of his expression, although Smoke and Skarlet couldn't see it, but the Grand Master was actually sweating ice drops on his face.

"She froze your hands on the ground quickly attacking you on top removing your mask and hers she pressed her lips to yours, making you understand her feelings and affection for you. But as the master Cryomancer you are, you didn't push her away for she kept going until one thing lead to another and all I know is that both of you lost your innocents that day."

"W-who told you!"

Scorpion smirk grew wider under his mask and responded back with a simple answer.

"Think Sub-Zero, who told who for I could get this information."

Sub-Zero thinking long and hard, maybe spies or some sort but then his eyes grew wide and smaked his hand on his forehead knowing exactly who it was or putting it correctly 'she' was."

"Frost."

"Correct and hearing it from my queen was the most laughable day I had back then."

Smoke was wide eye of what he just heard, his friend and Mrand Master actually was the one too be pin down and lose himself with frost, was something he didn't see coming, but Skarlet was holding on to her laughter covering her mouth not to laugh.

Sub-Zero turning his head behind looking straight at both and said with the coldest words that both warriors shivered in their spines.

"No words to anyone understand!"

Both nodding their heads in understanding after walking a few more minutes they made it to the military chambers seeing two raptor warriors open up the doors for them walking inside was another person but someone wearing a red ninja suit his mouth covered by his mask and only showing his glowing green eyes.

"Ermac, what a surprise. What brings you here?"

Ermac bowed his head and replied back to Scorpion.

"We heard you will be in a meeting my lord, so we thought we would be of an assistance here."

Scorpion nodded his head and looked at Sub-Zero not remembering if he presented Ermac to him turns around and says.

"Sub-Zero and Smoke this is Ermac his one of my top fighters and loyal friend."

Sub-Zero nodes his head and seeing Smoke bowing his head to show respect they start to walk towards around the table but Skarlet was sitting right next to Ermac.

"How are you doing today Skarlet?"

"I'm good Ermac thanks."

Scorpion caught a glimps on Skarlets expression and he could of sworn he saw her cheeks blushing shaking the thought looks to Sub-Zero.

"So Sub-Zero what business you wanted to discuss?"

Sub-Zero reaching out from the side of his pocket pulled out an artifact medallion and placed it in front of the table and Scorpion was shocked of the artifact in front of him because it was a symbol of the Lin Kuie clan.

"As you might know Scorpion, after my brother's death the former Lin Kuie Grand Master wanted to change the future of our clan, wanting to make every brother into a cybernetic robot fighters. Trying to reason with our Grand Master that it would seal our soul's then free will, but he immediately ignores my reason and marked me as a traitor. Other remaining Lin Kuie warriors didn't approve such an order that they aided me and ran away with a few remaining Lin Kuie followers. Although marked as deserters, outcast from the Lin Kuie together we rebuild our remaining clan into a place they wouldn't find us, the new era of the Lin kuie.

I come here Scorpion, or should I say Hanzo Hasashi although you were dead but resurrected back you are the last of the Shirai Ryu, I want us to become allies, I want us to be united as it should have been long ago, let our past of hatred be long forgotten and that we both look at the Shirai Ryu and Lin Kuie with a bright future ahead of us."

Scorpion stood there silently hearing every word, Sub-Zero kept on looking over the table were the specter was standing although desperately wanting to know his answer saw him move and started to walk towards him, Sub-Zero only bowed his head hopefully he made the right choice of his request. But looked up from his eyes and saw the specter bow his head also.

"Indeed our past was nothing but pure hatred Sub-Zero our fathers and ancestors never saw or even thought of peace between our clans. But I can see this new ear form, so as emperor and the last of the Shirai Ryu I accept this new alliance with the Lin Kuie, and hope that our past is long forgotten."

Scorpion and Sub-Zero raised their heads up and Sub-Zero extended his hand for Scorpion gladly shook it making peace between the two clans and a new alliance with the Lin Kuie.

"I'm truly honored Scorpion thank you."

Scorpion placing his hand on his shoulder replied back.

"The honor is mine friend, may both of us face our enemies together and that our children grow in this new era together."

With that alone they agreed peace and new alliance but soon the doors of the chambers slammed wide open quickly making every one turn around at the sudden outburst Scorpion was confused seeing Khameleon walking inside breathing heavily.

"Khameleon what's the sudden…"

"It's Mileena Scorpion, she is going into labor!"

With that alone Scorpion quickly dashed through the doors running quick as fast as he can to get to his queen.
