Chapter 2: Smoke Cyrax and Sareena
Sub-Zero sat on his throne and contemplated all that had happened in the last battle. A fire spawn named Blaze was about to bring Armageddon to all of the realms unless the sons of
Argus Taven and Daegon could defeat him. Taven was successful in defeating Blaze but as his death did not bring an end to the chaos. He felt that he needed to undo all of the
corruption that plagued. He resurrected Liu Kang and returned Raiden back to normal. All though Taven has preserved peace for the realms, all was not right for is Sub-Zero.
Sometime during the last battle, he encountered his old friend Smoke and did battle with him. Sub-Zero was successful in defeating him and shut him down. Sareena had also pledge
her allegiance to him and returned to Lin Kuei Fortress. The Lin Kuei scientist began to work on removing the cybernetic parts from Smoke. Sub-Zero sat on his throne and waited
patiently for his friend's freedom. After a few hours later, a Lin Kuei warrior walked in and knelt down in front of him.
"Grandmaster, we were successful in freeing agent Smoke from his nanobot technology. Right now he is asleep; he will be back to normal when he wakes up."
Sub-Zero rose from his throne "Excellent, report back to me when he is awake."
"Yes Grandmaster!" said the Lin Kuei warrior before exiting the room.
A couple of hours later Smoke woke up in the tech room of the Lin Kuei. He noticed that he was human once again as he examined his hands. Sub-Zero walked in to see his old friend
again.
He placed his hand on his shoulder "It is a good to have to you back Smoke."
Smoke nodded "Thank you my friend, Words can not express my gratitude to you."
Sub-Zero handed him his old Lin Kuei uniform and Smoke put it on. Before Sub-Zero could savior his best friend's return, a Lin Kuei warrior reported that there was someone here to
see Sub-Zero. Cyrax had walked in knelt down before him.
"Cyrax, you have returned but what is your reason?" he asked
"I have come to pledge my alligeance to the Lin Kuei again. I am at your mercy Sub-Zero."
Smoke looked long and hard at Cyrax and then looked back at Sub-Zero, "Perhaps we should let him joined, and if he was here to attack us he would've done it by now."
Cyrax noticed that Smoke was human again "Please, free me from this cybernetic body and I will serve you."
Sub-Zero looked down at Cyrax and nodded. "Very well, I will have the Lin Kuei free you from cybernetics.
Cyrax looked up at him and nodded "Thank you Sub-Zero, you have my gratitude."
Sub-Zero turned to Sareena. "Sareena while they work on Cyrax, I need you to find Sareena and return her back to fortress. She will serve me or face death for her crimes."
