Read, enjoy, review. If there is anything that you would like to see happen, let me know, and I'll add=]]
Chapter three: Welcome Home Princess:
Pyper was tense as they all walked up the beach, to where three people were standing. She didn't like being here, she had a strange feeling, like she belonged on this island. She hated it. Finally, they had reached the people awaiting them. They was a guy standing there, who looked familiar to her. He was wearing a strange hat, and a white shaw. His eyes shown with the fire of lightening. There was another guy there, who wore normal clothes. His dark hair was softly tousled, and on his face he wore a worried expression. Also, there was a strangely familiar girl there. She wore all black, her auburn her was pulled back into a tight bun, and her expression was firece. She looked ready for a fight. Pyper prepared herself for a fight as well, not sure whether to trust these three.
"Welcome!" The one in the strange hat greeted them. "You have all been chosen to compete in the sacred tourtement." Pyper tensed, but continued to listen. "I would like to ask the following people to step forward."
Pyper relaxed for a moment. She watched as the dark hired man stepped forward. "The direct decendant of Johnny Cage, his son." The guy had a powerful voice. Pyper looked around, she was shocked to see Ablert Wesker step forward to meet the strange hatted man. The man looked pleased.
"Your father also had a pair of sunglasses like that." He smiled, "I see that you have chosen to follow in his footsteps career wise, and in joining the tourtement."
"Yes." Wesker replied.
"May I ask you to remove your sunglasses?"
Wesker reluctantly removed his sunglasses, Pyper noticed. But was surprised to see him look the man staright in the face.
The man smiled. "You have your mothers eyes, come stand here." The man pointed next to the dark haired guy. "I shall explain everything in a few moments."
The man looked at the crowd, "The son of Lu Kang and Kitanna." He stated quietly. There was a movement beside Pyper, she looked to her right to see Shadow stepping forward. The man and the other two bowed to him. "It is a great honor to meet you." The man said, Shadow nodded and went to stand beside Wesker.
The firece looking girl stepped forward next, her emerald eyes searching the crowd. "The daughter of Sub Zero, and the Ice Emperiss." Her voice was but urgent. Pyper felt a jolt of something inside of her, so thats why I have been called here. She took a deep breath, stepped forward, her head held high. The was flash of some emotion of the emerald girls face but it quickly vanished as she bowed. The strange man, and the dark haired guy did the same. "Welcome Princess, it is an honor to see you, once again."
Pyper refused to let any emotion show on her face, she hadn't been a "Princess" since her father died, so she stood un-fased. the emerald girl stood.
"This shall not be easy for you." She said looking at the starnge man, who nodded. She looked at the crowd. "Not for any of you." She looked back at Pyper now, "Especially you princess, You see, the darkness has threatened our world once again. Thats why you all have been summoned here, to help us fight." Her face grew dark. "Your sister, Rayne has chosen the darkness."
Pyper had no doubt that it was true, from what she remembered of her sister, Rayne had always wanted power. Of course, she would choose the darkness. Pyper looked at the emerald girl. "Who are you?"
The girl didn't look surprised. "I am Angel, Daughter of the Emerald Emperiss." The girl said proudly. She looked at the strange man, who stepped forward.
"I am Rayden, God of Lightening." His eyes flashed, and the dark haired boy stepped forward.
"I am Morgead the son of Rayden." He said, "Angel and I, along with the other nuterals, shall help you train." Before he could say anymore, Pyper notice Rayden hush him. She looked where Rayden's eyes were fixed. Walking down the beach was a scruffy looking man, who smiled when he reached Rayden.
"Dean, what brings you down here?" Rayden asked. Dean looked at the crowd, and the three standing near Rayden.
"I have come to speak for Seth, mainly because he banished me, once again." He said in his deep playful voice.
Morgead spoke to him this time, "Why'd he do it this time?"
"He fell down the steps, and I was practically solling on the floor laughing." Dean almost started laughing, but sobered up tunring to face the crowd, clearing his throat.
"Welcome to our lovely Island. You have been chosen to compete in a sacred tourtement. Which will begin tomorrow. As for the rest of today, you may rest and regain your strength." He said, but then added, "Seth sends his regards to you all." Apparently Dean was finished talking because he abruptly turned to leave. He stopped when he caught sight of Pyper.
Pyper had a feeling she knew this man, with deep brown eyes, and handsome face. She was surprised when he bowed to her. But as he lifted his head, his eyes had a very deep sadness and longing in them.
"Princess Drucilla." His voice was a starined whisper, Pyper was shocked at the use of her real name, again she hadn't been called Princess Drucilla since her father died. But Dean quickly made her mind go blank as he walked to her. He grabbed her hand, pulled it to his lips, and kissed her fingers gently. "I look forward to seeing you at the tourtement, my lady." He had regained his face, but the sadness and longing were still in his eyes. Pyper sensed a double meaning to his words, but she couldn't speak. She only smiled. She felt a terrible pain as he let go of her hand, it was almost like she had felt that same pian once before. She sighed as she watched him turn around and walk back up the beach. All the while feeling a longing for him she couldn't explain.
I'm going to try super hard to add another chapter tomorrow, but I dunno if i will be able to finish it and be able to post it right away.
But big shocker! Bet ya didn't know Sub Zero had a Daughter, huh? Especially two of them. I picked the name Drucilla for Pyper's real name because it just seemed to be the perfect princess name for her.
But anywho, review and tell me what you think! =]]
Until next time,
XOXOXO Shay.
